Dál Riata is commonly viewed as having been an Irish Gaelic colony in Scotland, although some archaeologists have recently argued against this.<ref>The case against the colonial view is given fully in Ewan Campbell, "Were the Scots Irish ?" in ''Antiquity'', 75 (2001), pp. 285–292. It should be noted that Campbell's is an archaeologically based theory. Historians are divided on the question.</ref> The inhabitants of Dál Riata are often referred to as Scots, from the [[Latin language|Latin]] ''[[Scoti|scotti]]'' for the inhabitants of Ireland, and later came to mean [[Middle Irish language|Gaelic]]-speakers, whether Scottish, Irish or other.<ref>Charles-Edwards, ''Early Christian Ireland'', p. 159–160, considers whether the Latin terms ''Scotti'' and ''Atacotti'' refer to the confederations in Ulster and Leinster respectively. The etymology of ''Scotti'', and its Gaelic roots, if any, are uncertain. The term in late Classical sources is either specifically linked to raiders from Ireland, or is geographically ambiguous. In sharp contrast, no clear reference pointing to Scotti in Scotland in the Roman period has been found. Despite several references listing different combinations of Picti, Scotti, Hiberni, Attecotti and Saxons together as later Roman Britain's archetypal enemies, it is worth noting that 'Scotti' and 'Hiberni' are never listed together, confirming they were then, as they were later, alternative names for the Irish or confederations of the Irish. Regardless of the original sense, or its modern popularity, to use the term Scot in this context invites confusion.</ref> They are referred to here as [[Gaels]], an unambiguous term, or as Dál Riatans.<ref>See ''[[1066 And All That]]'', p. 5, for a parody of the confusion the word "Scot" engenders in this context.</ref>▼

The kingdom reached its height under [[Áedán mac Gabráin]] (r. 574-608), but its expansion was checked at the [[Battle of Degsastan]] in 603 by [[Æthelfrith of Northumbria]]. Serious defeats in Ireland and Scotland in the time of [[Domnall Brecc]] (d. 642) ended Dál Riata's Golden Age, and the kingdom became a client of [[Northumbria]], then subject to the [[Picts]]. There is disagreement over the fate of the kingdom from the late eighth century onwards. Some scholars have seen no revival of Dal Riata after the long period of foreign domination (after 637 to around 750 or 760), while others have seen a revival of Dal Riata under [[Áed Find]] (736-778), and later [[Kenneth I of Scotland|Kenneth MacAlpin]] (Cináed mac Ailpín, who is claimed in some sources to have taken the kingship there in c.840 following the disastrous defeat of the Pictish army by the Danes): some even claim that the kingship of [[Fortriu]] was usurped by the Dál Riata several generations before MacAlpin (800-858).<ref>Smyth, and Bannerman, ''Scottish Takeover'', present this case, arguing that Pictish kings from [[Ciniod II of the Picts|Ciniod son of Uuredech]] and [[Caustantín of the Picts|Caustantín]] onwards were descendants of [[Fergus mac Echdach]] and Feradach, son of [[Selbach mac Ferchair]]. Broun's ''Pictish Kings'' offers an alternative reconstruction, and one which has attracted considerable support, e.g. Clancy, "Iona in the kingdom of the Picts: a note", Woolf, ''Pictland to Alba'', pp 57–67.</ref> The kingdom disappeared in the [[Viking Age]].
