It's all very tenous, but it's probably the case that establishment figures (of whatever kind, kings, popes, warlords etc) used these legends and myths to support their own claims to whatever power they had. In other words it's only propoganda but it's so old it is implied truth.
Like all creation myths, there may be a grain of truth in it somewhere then again, there may not.
Speaking as someone who was born, brought up in and lives in Scotland - it's bull****.
