1st clarify the question ....
By 'settled' is it queried when was it first 'populated' ie settled with people? If so the answer is 'forever', because the oldest surviving artifacts are coincident with end of the last Ice Age, but are sufficiently substantial and socially developed that they must have been preceded by ancient primitive settlements and populations of which no traces survived.
In terms of the traceable ancestors of the current scottish population, we are the descendants of 5 'species' - the 4 nations Angles, Britons, Picts and Scots, plus the Norsemen (Vikings) who controlled the Northern and Western Isles into the 12th centuryAD. The Angles generally occupied the southeast, the Britons the southwest, both with territorial spread across the current political border. The Picts were the inhabitants of the mountainous highland area from the retreat of the ice and the Scots invaded from Ireland.
Myth is that the Scots originated in the Black Sea and were displaced into their boats to survive where they could settle. This is rather romantically (but unsubstantiated) documented in the Declaration of Arbroath, the famous and beautifully written request to the Pope of the day in 1320 to respect the sovereignty of Scotland established by battle in 1314, and requesting the Pope to instruct the English king to desist from attempting to invade the Scots. If only.

Who was the king of Scotland at the beginning of Macbeth?
Kenneth Macalpin (Kenneth I) became the first recognised King of Scotland in 843 (although the name Scotland had no meaning then) and ruled till 860. The Scotti tribe of North Ireland settled on the west coast of Scotland in the 6th century and called their new kingdom Dalriada. Kenneth became King of Dalriada in 840. He was the first to be both King of Dalriada and King of the Picts (the indigenous population of Scotland at that time) through marriage to the daughter of a Pictish Chief and to sire an heir to the throne. There were Kings of both Dalriada and Pictland before Kenneth but none could hold on to it long enough to produce an heir thus starting a new lineage.
