A map would be nice. The Jade Knight 08:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

But probably 90% guesswork. On the OS map of Ancient Britain, Caledonii is indeed marked, but apart from the fact that Dunkeld is plausibly derived from their name, I don't think anyone knows exactly where the Caledonians and Caledonia were in relation to other tribes or confederations. Atholl, or maybe just northern Perthshire, are reasonable guesses. Angus McLellan 19:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

There is also a song named Caledonia by Celtic Women

[edit] Confusion

Is this really just about "Caledonia as a name for Scotland" because it seems like it's also part disambiguation page? I think someone might have muddled up the pages. I'm going to move all of these links over to the disambig. page and delete them from this page.--France3470 01:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
