What do other countries call Scotland?

Scotland, in native Scottish Gaelic, Alba [ˈal̪ˠapə] and in Scots, Scotland [ˈskɔt̪.lənd ]), traditionally Scotia [ˈskɒʃ.ə] or Caledonia [kæl.ɪˈdoʊ.ni.ə] (the latter term is still sometimes used poetically), is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It is the most northerly country of the United Kingdom, occupying about a third of its island of Great Britain.

Scotland is sometimes colloquially referred to by the names Caledonia and Scotia. Caledon was the name of a Roman province and Roman Britannia during the first and second centuries AD, and in modern Latin Scotland is still officially called Caledonia.
