There is a shipwreck site off Cornwall, the hapless "Caledonia" -- and a figurehead salvaged is, say some, Queen Scota who invaded ancient Ireland, leading her bands of warriors and founding lines of kings. See Scota, or Scotia, as queen of the tribe of Scotti who then, pressed into Ulster, commenced to raid and then settle in Scotland and fight with Picts against Rome. Is all that so?

Ancient Ireland. Cornwall would have been well known to ancient navigators, whether ships were headed to parts unknown and ending up in Ireland, or not.
