The origin and meanings of Picts and Scots has been discussed as originating from one source, the Kymry from Africa. See https://writerswhirlpool.blogspot.com/search?q=scot.Both the Picts and Scots were said to be the painted men because they tattooed their bodies. Professor Rhys said the Scots were people who were cut or scarred. Dr. Stokes additionally suggests the name means rulers or possessors. (This we find to also be true when we understand a fuller set of information regarding the Picts & Scots as being the Rut, Ruti, Rekh, Rekhi) (Names and Their Histories).
In Names & Their Histories, the words, Cruithnech, CruitAnigh or Cruithne are also said to mean the tattooed or painted men; however based on the Book of Beginnings, although Cruitnich and Cruith-Neacht refer to Picts and Scots, it primarily means wheat, corn-men, and cultivators of corn. This goes back to their ancestors, the Egyptians, the KarUahit-nakh.Before the Kymry split into Picts and Scots, they were in Brython, which they named Brittany (Brittene). Some of the Brythons (Britains) went back to Armorica (now called France, formerly Wales) from whence the Kymry came on their journey from Africa. These returning Kymry, now called Britains, despised the Kymry who became the Picts and Scots and wanted to distinguish themselves and claim to not be the same people. In doing so, they claimed to be Scot-free, free of tattoos and carvings on their bodies. This was simply the physical proof that they were also “claiming” to no longer be followers of Goddess Sekhet. Now we can understand why in really recent times why tattooing has been on the rise as Sekhet rises as part of the governing body Ages of Aquaria and Kepheus.
It is unlikely the first use of the phrase Scot-free, used the word Scot, but rather more likely an earlier form such as Khuti, Khati, Kheti, Khetti, Khatti, Ketti, Katti, Sgiot, Sgod, Sgiot-ach, Scyth (Scythian), Scuit, Scotia, Scota, Scotti, Coti, Cotti, Abroi, Kabiri, Kabari, Kamari, Kymry, Kymri, Cymri, Cymry, Goths, Afridi, Auritae, Afruti, Kafruti, Kheft, Khefti, Kheftim, Gevim, Gutim, Gentiles, Catini, Gadeni, Cotani, Rut, Ruti, Kam-Ruti, Khem-Rui, Khem-Ruti, Karuti, Kamruti, Khvm-Rut, Kvm-ruti, Kymruti, Khebm-ruti, Sabme-Ruti (Laps, Sabme, Khabma), Kamrekh, Kymraig, Kvm, Khebm, Cwm, Ruten, Latin, Reta, Karti, Kaldi (Chaldee, Chaldeans), Keltae, Kelt, Celtic, Celt, Kham, Kam, Khem, Kem, Kamite, Khemet, Kemet and many more variations of the same can be found by following the route of each name.
Per, https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/ask/0,,-2732,00.html
In Macbeth by Shakespeare, there is a statement: "We have Scotched the snake, not killed it" - which means the snake is scratched or injured. So the original expression "Scotch Free" meant uninjured or even unmarked; it very quickly became Scot-Free because of colloquial speech.

Those who think they are Scot-free or have gotten off Sgiot-free are mistaken. If you are Scot-free, you are estranged from the incoming two Great Year Ages. This misalignment is a very bad thing and the worst thing that has happened to you. Furthermore, if you are Scot-free you do not have the much needed mark of the good beast, the Spirit of the Great Mother of all domains, the lowest common denominator and highest common unifier. You claim to have no common origin with all people and everything else. You claim to sit above the judgment seat or out of its reach. Your spirit is tarnished and is not white as snow, and for this you will be punished and banished, all the way back to the first known bad configuration, to reproduce no more destructive pandemics by means of every breath you take.
