Coat of Arms of Scotland
The Rulers of Scotland are normally dated from the reign of Kenneth MacAlpin even though officially he was considered 'King of the Picts' rather than the as then unheard of title of King of Alba or King of the Scots. The Alpin dynasty was actually two rival branches descended from Kenneth I who fought over the crown for two centuries. Constantine II was the first 'King of Alba', the kingdom later known as Scotland.
