The People & Language of Early Scotland From the Kingdom of Bernicia the Angles threatened to conquer the whole of Scotland until their fortunes waned with heavy defeats against Picts and Vikings. They left us the language which became Old Scots - the language of Burns. They also left us the magnificent Ruthwell Cross and one of the earliest poems in the Anglian language, called 'The Dream of the Rood'.
