Scottish DNA: What’s The Genetic (DNA) History of Scotland?
A 2019 study managed to group Scotland into 6 genetic clusters: the northeast, the southwest, the Borders, the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland. More broadly, Scotland is defined by a southwest versus northeast division near the River Forth, a division that reflects the historical territories of the Gaels versus the Picts. This 2019 study managed to group The Isle of Man with the southwestern Scottish individuals, and also found that the Hebrides is genetically distinct from the rest of mainland Scotland, a genetic island so to speak.
A 2012 study led by Edinburgh University found that 1% of all Scotsmen are direct descendants of the Berber and Tuareg tribesmen of the Sahara, a lineage which is around 5600 years old. This study also found that 15% of male participants in the study with the Stewart surname are directly descended from the royal line of kings.
A 2013 study also found an Irn Bru gene in the Scottish population which means we burn easy. Just joking, I’m just making sure you’re still paying attention.
In Orkney, there is a remarkable Viking genetic legacy. The population in Orkney is the most genetically distinct across Britain according to various studies. The People of British Isles study found that 25% of DNA from the people of Orkney comes from Norwegian ancestors, corresponding to the existence of a Norse Viking Earldom in Orkney from 875 to 1472.
This shows that the Norse Viking invasion (9th century) did not simply replace the indigenous Orkney population however, but intermarried with the indigenous Pictish population. More broadly, there was a notable Norwegian signal in all Scottish samples, the genetic footprint of the Vikings. Unsurprisingly, Shetland also has a large influence from the Vikings, with Norwegian ancestry of around 20 to 25%. Norwegian markers are higher in people whose ancestry is from the north of both of Orkney and Shetland. Norwegian ancestry is lower in the Hebrides (7%), and is substantially lower in the north of Scotland (N Scotland) and southwest (Argyll), and the Isle of Man, averaging 4%.
There are links with groups in Northern Ireland and western Scotland, which is hardly surprising given the history of the Gaels and the Gaelic Kingdom of Dalriada. The Ulster plantation may be another reason for this link. The data from the People of British Isles study also suggested a large movement of people from Northern France into England and Scotland between 6,000 and 3,000 years ago.

Look up the old borderland battles between the Percies of Northumberland and the Douglases of southern Scotland, for example Otterburn or Chevy Chase.
Many people in the UK are often surprised about their ancestry when they have their DNA tested, and we all tend to have variations on a theme in this country. I am Irish, Scots and English in almost equal measure, with a sprinkle of Norwegian thrown in for seasoning. I have been fortunate to substantiate most of that heritage, apart from the Norwegian. My forebears were victims of the Great Famine in Ireland and the Lowland Clearances in Scotland, and both my Scots and English forebears were of the border region, from reiving families.

From Jutland, Denmark and did one of those DNA tests (for what they are worth) a couple of years ago and it came back with 13,9 % Scottish/Irish, 10,3% Eastern European and the rest was Scandinavian. I have no know relatives from either EE or Scotland, Ireland so it may reflect where a certain seafaring people went or perhaps comes from later historical events.

In ancient Scotland from the borders up to Edinburgh you had the Anglo- Saxon Northumbrians, from Edinburgh going up the North East you had a people call the Picti - Picts, from Glasgow / Dumbarton Castle going right down the South West to Wales you had the Brythonic Britons ,and from Glasgow going up the West coast and Islands you had the Scotti Irish Gaels called the Scots, this is not even to mention the arrival of Vikings, Normans and Flemish, so when people get the results of their DNA test which of the the above classes you as being genetically Scottish? Ancient Briton, Pictish, Irish Gael or Germanic Anglo Saxon, I’ve never figured out to this day which ancient group the “Scottish DNA” lands and stops on, to define being genetically Scottish ?

These tests are going to do that... which is to say, it's a literal guess based upon the database owned by the testing company. These companies are also 100% skewed by their location, which is to say, a British-based company will have more Brits than a Spanish one- and vise-versa. For example: I did exactly that: I had a test done by a British company and came out 100% Brit (heavily Scot). A Spanish company however said I was 43% Spanish and the rest was Dutch. Both are incorrect, although I am heavily Scot, my mother is Swedish, and my dad has Indian (as in Punjabi), in his background. None of this was picked up by either test. Another issue is that the tests can't always weed out recent vs ancient, particularly if you have both in your background. Many Northern Euros will be surprised to find Italian, Spanish or Greek in their background.. at usually 5 to 7%. This doesn't mean you actually ARE these ethnicities but rather it's a marker of the fact that your ancestors, like most Euros, spent many thousands of years in these regions during the Ice Age, well before there was even the idea of an Italy.
Truly interesting of course, and the gentleman's distinct New York accent is wonderful! Lol

It is hard to pin genetics down to specific nationalities (these came way later than the genetic patterns did!). The Scots, English, Welsh, and Irish all had a very strong Celtic background/influence. These different groups/tribes are genetically close to each other, close enough that it is hard to actually figure out "nationality" in relation to them (just not enough time and environmental difference to produce significant halogroup mutations, etc). The English are sometimes distinguished from the above groups because of the heavier Germanic and Scandinavian combo that mixed in, along with the Roman (that and cultural differences that developed). But make no mistake, pre modern England still had a very strong, predominant Celtic genetic pool despite all the Anglo Saxon, Viking, Norman (once Vikings themselves), Roman, etc invasions. So likely, what the DNA test was actually telling you was that you generally have a lot of Celtic ancestry, which is no surprise. Today, if you look at Celtic looking people from all the above areas, you will tend to see some similarities. Freckles and quite light, easily sunburned skin are common, sometimes a tendency towards reddishness in the hair, tendency to lighter blue gray to medium blue eyes, etc. With all that said, of course there are PLENTY of people in these areas, even in pre modern times (before immigration from very different areas became so prevalent) that also have darker hair and/or who can tan somewhat.

Scythian connections?? Found this interesting in my research: They have been called variously Scythians, Thracians, Cimmerians (and Kurgan Culture), Sarmatians, Cumans, Alans, Huns, Tatars, Turks, Slavs, Bulgars and Goths. In Saratov on the Lower Volga River in Russia, up to 1 in between 3 and 4 people possess this distinctive marker. In Slovenia, at the crossroads of Barbarian incursions into the Roman Empire, as many as 22% of the inhabitants carry it. It is also notable in Ashkenazi Jews, certain Mongols and some Turks. Minimal frequencies occur, on the other hand, in Asians like the Chinese or Indians. One minor branch is found in Malaysia and Australian Aboriginals, pointing to the relatedness of all humans. Another expansion centered on Egypt and became prominent among Berbers..

Admixtures of Turkish or Egyption origin are ot uncommon usually found in the subclades etc..... A very interesting subject to study with an open mind to the evidence presented from several different disciplines. Celts were "all over the place" so admixtures would not be uncommon.

From this Bell Beaker ancestry, we have always maintained genetic likeness to other people of the North Sea region - Frisians, Saxons, Angles, Danes, Norwegians. We are not significantly linked by genes to the so-called "Celts" of Gaul, or the Alpine ethnic groups who cultivated the Hallstatt and La Tene cultures.

Regarding the Berbers in Egypt, in my studies, I found that they came out of Egypt when Moses parted the Red Sea. They are the ancient Israelites of the House of Joseph. Joseph, son of bigfoot biblical Patriarch Jacob. Joseph and the Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 years. When the Northern Kingdom of Israel were taken into captivity 660 B.C. , by the Assyrians, they eventually migrated up to the country of Georgia and went through the " Pass of Israel " in the Caucasus Mountains and crossed the seas migrating to Ireland and Scotland. They established Kingdoms in both places. So, we are among the descendants of " the Lost Tribes of Israel." And, the Bible teaches that in end days, the Lost Tribes will become aware of their biblical roots. And, the tribes shall be united again with all 12 tribes. The English Royals are the Tribe of Judah. But, the Scotts are the House of Joseph. I traveled to Egypt and traveled in the ancient path of Joseph. I am American born. But, my mother's father's roots are from the Highlands of Scotland. And, her mother's are from Ireland. I've never been to Scotland . But, I would like to purchase a property there for the House of Joseph. We are a royal lineage and our history is amazing.

I agree with much of what you have stated. Scotland has traces of 4 lost tribes such as Dan, Simeon, Levi and Judah. Interesting research and records at British Museum done in 1960’s. Well understood in Victorian era. Books: J.H. Allen Judahs sceptre Josephs birthright, Yair Davidy Hebrew Celtic Heritage and Wcg U.S. and Britain in Prophecy Just to name a few…
The vikings certainly got around. You look at the size of Scandinavia and think why did the vikings need to invade the British Isles back in the day and for hundreds of years at that.

Because most of Scandinavia is Mountainous, hilly, and Barren. Decent farming land was in short supply. Hence why the Viking sailed the world It was to look for suitable land to farm at first.

Your ancestors will most likely have emigrated to Canada following the Highland clearances. Many in the western isles and north west highlands emigrated to Canada.
you so cool, love your appearance! Great genes though!
They did a study in the Orkney islands and found that all men have Norse DNA but no Pictish DNA but the women had both Norse and Pictish now for that to happen they have either killed off all the Pictish men or castrated them which I found really interesting and I know you will too.
Are people of lowland Scotland and Northern Ireland more likely to have higher English Ancestry percentage?

These studies are flawed.
Clearly, Scotland is merely a geographic expression. There is no such thing as a Scottish race, just a minority tribe from Ulster after all. There are Gaels, Picts, Norse, Saxon and Britons (read Welsh).

"A Minority Tribe from Ulster,"....You don't know what you're talking about! Of course there isn't a Scottish race. No one on here said there was. You'd cause an argument in an empty room! 😂🤣🤣
Dal Riata was not an Irish colony as today's Ireland did not exist, the Romans and Greeks called today's Ireland as Scotia i.e. Scotland and the people were called the Scotti ie Scots, from the 1st to 5th century is that not correct, the Picts from Caledonia invaded today's Ireland in the 2nd century these Scotii might be the descendants of the Picts?
English. DNA irrelevant. My country.
The Morini, the Atrebates and the Ambiani are interesting to study for South Wales and some other parts in South-England. And their original Belgian Celtic tribes in the time the channel did not exist. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallia_Belgica#/media/Bestand:Map_Gallia_Tribes_Towns.png
So genetically id be closest to the Orkney population.
My genetics are 1%. Irish, 7%. Scottish, 7% Danish, 5% Eastern European and Russian, 80% English & Northwestern Europe...
