What if Ireland and Scotland(Alba/Pictland) were pagan until much later?
How could this have been made to happen?
Not asking for it to be forever, but by way of comparison, I would think it should not really be hard to delay adoption of Christianity in Ireland & Scotland, at least to the 900s timeframe of the Magyars, Poles, Russians, and Danes, or the 1000s timeframe of the Norwegians and Swedes, given how remote they are from European trade and invasion routes. While harder perhaps, holding out to the 1100s-1200s timeframe of the Finns or 1300s timeframe of the Lithuanians shouldn't be *impossible*.
I think Ireland is easier to delay than Alba/Pictland/Scotland.
