The Forgotten Term for Scotland: Uncovering the History of "Hieland"

"Hieland" is an archaic or poetic term for Scotland, derived from the Old English word "h
land", which means "island". The term was used in Middle English to refer to Scotland as a land of islands, and it has been preserved in some traditional Scottish songs and ballads.

In modern times, "hieland" is not commonly used as a term for Scotland, but it can be found in some historical or literary contexts. It is also sometimes used as a nickname for Scotland or the Scots, particularly in reference to traditional Scottish culture or customs.
