The Hebridies were pretty much all owned by Norway (look at a map and remember
that the vikings could sail on lines parrallel to the equator), and for some
reason a prince of Norway ruled the Isle of Man.

Unimpeachable historical textbook - 1066 and All That
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, December 05 2012 @ 12:32 PM EST
Quote from chapter 2 of "1066 and All That" by Sellars and Yeatman:

...

Important Note

The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting
Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts
(originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is
essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).
