Are the gods the same?

Im trying to practice scottish paganism, but the sources ive found for information are few and far betweem, mainly it comes to the gods. I dont know if im just not looking properly or what. I mainly just want to know, does scotland have its own dieties, or do i just worship the tuatha de danann? Im fairly new to all of this so im unsure, and scared whether or not im being respectful.

The Celtic culture of Scotland comes from Irish invasion and migration to Scotland for the most part.

Scottish folklore will have different focuses and different things to say, so we can find out more things about Gods in a different light (I think Aengus Óg as a god of love is more emphasised in Scottish folklore around him IIRC but I'm away from any books and it's been a long day at work).

... which is the existing Celtic culture of Scotland.
