Pictland goes Norse while Wales goes Gaelic and Cornwall keeps the Exe

In this scenario, OTL Scotland goes Norse, with West Old Norse becoming the dominant language of not just Orkney, Shetland but the whole of the mainland as well as the Hebrides. And I mean for real, with no Anglicization in the High Middle Ages or later. What would this alternate Scotland be called?

The Gaels, in exchange for not having Northern Britain, get the whole of Wales and all of OTL England west of the river Severn. Wales therefore becomes known as Scotland and speaks a Goidelic language.

The Cornish however rule up to the river Exe.

So to sum up, the Gaels hold not just Ireland and the isle of Mann but Wales and England west of the Severn. The Norse get the whole of Scotland while the Britons only have Brittany, Cornwall and most of Devon.
 
PoD; Nigel Tranter was right about Thorfinn Sigurdsson of Orkney being MacBeth's half brother. Thorfinn has blood ties to both the Scots and Norwegian courts- he's getting on by 1057, but didn't get the nickname "the mighty" by accident.

Lumphanan turns into more of a pyrrhic victory for Malcolm III- he kills MacBeth, as per, but is in to state to resist vengeance from Thorfinn, who kills him and becomes king of scots more or less by default; Scotland therefore never becomes as anglicised.

Which means 1066 plays out very differently, as Harald Sigurdsson, Hardrada, (unfortunately not the same Sigurd) has a friendly harbour that will soon become a power vacuum when Torfinn dies of old age, which he will fairly soon, and it's right next to the Danelaw where he promised to help the rebel Tostig.

Harald Godwinsson is on his way north when William makes his move, hears of it in time to rush to the south coast in time to beat back the Normans, but not being in two places at once can't keep Hardrada out of the Danelaw.

So at the end of 1066 we have a sea kingdom of the North, Norse-Gael, Norse- Scots and Norse- English in that order under Hardrada and tributaries, stretching from Norway to the Humber, and England proper and unconquered.

To be honest I can't see that situation lasting, but...

Well, the north of scotland is called sutherland for a reason- it is south; of the norse. Sutherland and Danelaw is about as good as you're going to get for a name, probably. For however long as one is required.
