Answer #1

some scots might be able to trace their lineage back to vikings. But vikings came from the scandanavian region and raided many parts of the UK not just scotland.

It is thought that vikings actually landed in america too, long before christopher columbus did

Answer #2

This might help: A substantial part of Scotland—the Northern and Western Isles and large areas of the coastal mainland from Caithness and Sutherland to Argyle—was conquered by the Vikings: http://www.ucc.ie/chronicon/ocorr2.htm
