I come from a mixed family so I don't really know how to deal with this info. My father's side of the family is English, English who literally fought against the Scots. My mother's side of the family is Scots-Irish, or what we commonly call in America Scotch-Irish, though we aren't able to actually trace the family back to Ireland or Scotland. So I guess I feel half good about the news.

Anyone know where the region we now call Scotland was located 385 million years ago?

The United States

Part of North America, maybe even in the tropics:

What Did the Continents Look Like Millions of Years Ago?
An artist-geologist renders the history of the Earth with maps.

Then there’s the question of the different histories of particular plates. So, for example, most of Scotland started out as North America. Then, when all the continents collided to form Pangaea, the first collisions took place in the Silurian-Devonian and the final collisions took place in the Pennsylvanian-Permian. By, say, 250 million years ago, most of the continents were together. Then, when they started to split apart in the Triassic and Jurassic—especially in the Triassic and Cretaceous—the split occurred in such a way that what had been part of North America was actually captured, if you will, by Europe and taken over to become the British Isles.

Scotland and at least the northern half of Ireland were captured and began to drift with Europe. On the other hand, North America picked up Florida—which used to be part of Gondwana—and so forth.

The following two sequences show the evolution of Europe from an Antarctic archipelago to a tropical island chain to the present-day Europe we know and recognize. The first sequence starts roughly 450 million years ago and continues to the Jurassic, 200 million years ago. All maps by Ron Blakey.

those long term 'maps' are utterly fascinating - ok I am easily fascinated if I see a map [;)]

There is a link in the article to a site where you can buy some.

Here are some European maps. Look at the "Europe Pleistocene ca. 0 Ma" and ask yourself if you want to go live in the icy version or if you want the warmer version.

Edit: I forgot the link!

Southern Hemisphere. Specimens have also been found in Belarus, Estonia and China so...

They also have large heads which also explains a lot. [;)]

Now I understand the reason Scotish wear a skirt. It is to lift up and show how to copulate
