Ive managed to trace my ancestry right down to the Pictish King - Bawsak. The main DNA that I carry was first mapped and discovered in the Clan Fleetoyabass. Ancient scholars maintan this clan would consume a magic potion brewed by Monks in an English Abbey - it was a sweet tasting nectar known locally as a "Tonic". The potion would be the first step in an ancient ritual known as a "square go". After the ritual was finished, the men of the clan would gather around eating long thin slices of meat - usually prepared over a flame and accompanied with some exotic spices. Ah, to live in simpler times - John Nebdy from Didyehaye, Texas.
It wasn't just the northern islands that saw Viking invasions. My paternal ancestry is lowland Scottish. My Y dna is Danish Viking I1, likely coming from the Great Heathen Army invasion of northeast England.
The Great Heathen army or contemporary the Meikle haeben heer, meikle is still used in the Doric dialect and I think is where “taking the micky” comes from or taking the most, heer is still the German word for army. Some words in Geordie are obviously from Norse but here in Glasgow and Scotland we still speak pidgin Norse. We say huis (house) haim (home) nae mer (no more) brun koo (brown cow) doo (pidgin) bra (great) och aye den nu (and yes the now). When the Meikle Haeben Heer invaded Scotland and England were seperate countries and I would suggest your Danish DNA may result from a more recent family member or from Irish descendants.
I1 is also Anglo-Saxon and they settled the south east of Scotland, it is very difficult to genetically distinguish Anglo-Saxons and Danes as they were almost the same people, infact the Danes were the neighbouring tribe of the Angles and Jutes, the Danes moved into Jutland when the Angles and Jutes left for Britain. Danish settlement was very rare in Scotland, the vast minority was in the north eastern part of England and the midlands. Most Germanic ancestry in the south east low lands come from the Angles.

👏- So - if the glaciers had not melt and people stayed put - then more assimilation would have happened? It's all about consumption - 82% Viking here (Scot/Northern Ireland) - so what?
I'm sorry but I have to say this. If you were born thousands of miles away - You are not Scottish. Scotland does not care what ancient "clans" your family "originated from". No clans exist. This sort of culture stealing and grandstanding online has to stop.
You open by saying their eye were blue or green. The same genetic data you drew that from likewise explains they lacked the genes for light skin, similar to Saharan Africans. And though one can't include everything per say, the picture you begin with is missing important pieces. Some out there tend towards using genetics they favor while ignoring what they do not. People should know the full accounting. Maybe you explain it further in the video, but the start of your video sticks out like a sore thumb.
My Clan originated in Dál Riata and were among the Gallowglass (Foreign Gaels) who travelled across the Irish Sea to fight for and behalf of the Irish against the Normans. As a result they were given lands in Ireland and settled there for the next 6/700 years until the famine seen them return back to what was now Scotland in the late 18th Century. Ironically my family settled on an Island ( Bute) just 50 miles straight as the crow flies from the Island they had departed all those centuries earlier namely Mull. Gallowglass were Warrior Clans a mix of Gael and Norse who had by this time integrated themselves on the West Coast of Scotland and controlled much of it as a result. I have also found out that our Clan were among those who were deposed of their Lands in the first Wars of Independence having been on the losing side and the Balliol claim to the throne via their allegiance to the Clan MacDougall (Norse / Gaels descended from Somerled and the House of Ivar) who had controlled the Lands within Dál Riata (Now Argyle and the Western Isles). On the DNA side I would be interested to know if the claims within the Declaration of Arbroath have any genetic weight to them as there is a claim that the Scots came to these Islands by way of the Exodus from the Holy Lands up through Scythia, Spain Northern France and then mainland Britain. The Declaration of Arbroath; April 6, 1320 _To the most Holy Father and Lord in Christ, the Lord John, by divine providence Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Roman and Universal Church_ … _Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner. The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith. Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles Â- by calling, though second or third in rank Â- the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother, and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron forever_ . The reason I ask is this: The Irish or certainly some within them claim to be from the Tribe of Dan (Samson was from the Tribe of Dan) one of the 12 Tribes of Israel and actually the second largest of the 12. They were a sea fairing Tribe who would have had the skills to Navigate around Europe and across the Channel to these shores.
1. All the clan stuff is very much for tourists. Nobody in modern Scotland buys into it. It’s a self aggrandising grift for a class if people who have mostly been born, raised and educated in the south of England for generations, for whim Scotland is a rental income and vacation-hime. If you live in north America it’s probably because your titular clan chiefs transformed into rabid capitalists, appropriated the land and expelled your ancestors. 2. It is not at all ironic that they settled on Bute. You have misled yourself a lot with modern notions of travel / accessibility. It was much easier in those days to travel around by sea, around the islands and the coasts of Scotland, Ireland, Wales than it was to travel inland. Many gallowglasses would have kept up connections back home through generations, including in marriages.
@ They were farmers on arrival Bute was an obvious choice. As for your dismissal of the Clans and historical evidence of their involvement in Wars which not only shaped the future of what we now call Scotland but also had a lasting legacy in what we now know as Ireland. I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating having grown up a Scotsman in the modern era. I spent a life time wondering what we were and where we originated from,as the common perception is we were merely Irish immigrants looking for a hand out. The reality however is far more complex than that as they did originate in Dál Riata and ultimately ended up back in the very same region in the place now know as Argyle and Bute.
3. You will find that the paternal dna of most clan “chiefs” turns out to be much more similar to one another than to yours, or to the dna of other people by that surname who still reside in the area. They are mostly Norman. Especially since most of them have been based in southern England and marrying English hirls for centuries. It comes down to the late medieval adoption of primogeniture and a move towards more strict notions of legitimacy/illegitimacy during the Renaissance & Reformation era. The average number of generations before a man runs out of direct, legitimate male heirs is 4-6 generations. Look at almost any purported chiefly pedigree and you will find a fuzzy but where someone inherited from a grandfather, or “acquired” a barony or whatever. Most of these are morganatic marriages. Eg, the great border clan of Seton: Seton of Seton has no sons, ir they die before him. He gets his daughter married to guy called (Alexander or Andrew I forget) de Winter. De Winter adopts the name, lands and (in right of his wife, which his eldest son will have for real) titles of Seton. Just a generation or two later, the big and powerful Gordon family have an incumbent who has no son. His daughter has many male cousins and uncles, though. When he dies, they marry the daughter off to a younger Seton (de Winter) in a deal where some land in Aberdeenshire recently confiscated by the king and awarded to the Gordons is given to the couple, and the girl is disinherited of all the lands and properties in the south. Thus the great Gordon of Huntly clan is born (i.e. imposed as feudal landlords on Aberdeenshire locals who don’t yet use surnames). They later became one of the most wealthy and powerful families in all of Scotland. De Winter dna. The most common male candidates for morganatic marriages were the numerous younger sons (legitimate and illegitimate) and further descendants of the Stewart monarchs, since they had social prestige but not much money or property.
As a native Scot, a Scottish person to me today is someone who is culturally Scottish and feels that it is where they are from, not just genetic. The genetic info we have shows what markers were dominant in the population in the past to present in that region. So I suppose this should be labelled genetic ethnicity. But, in reality someone who's parents or grandparents are from say Nigeria or China but born and brought up in Scotland is also a Scottish person, culturally they are from Scotland but not of original Scottish genetic ethnic stock. On the other hand, say a Canadian has 90% Scottish genetic markers, that person will be ethnically Scottish genetically but culturally a true Canadian and probably has little to do with Scotland or it's people in his/her life. With the dispersal of populations around the World from other regions and the integration of them into others the populations of the World will become more mixed. Countries built on migration from all corners of the globe like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA will become a real mixed melting pot of genetics from all over the World. High genetic diversity like this will likely be a good thing and healthier going forward. I was tested and found to be mostly Irish Scots with a bit of English, traces of Scandi and Spannish. I would say this is my genetic ethnicity (Irish Scots, English), but culturally I am completely Scottish. The study of genetics into local long established populations is interesting and shows us a lot about invasions, migration and even genetic diseases. Local genetics will become more diluted and mixed in the future with the movement of people, already happening in the UK.
Предавач није хтео да нам рекне са ким су у сродству првобитни насељеници, ловци-сакупљачи. Ми знамо да су њихови наследници најчешћи међу северњацима/нордијцима и јужњацима, а да су Баскама мушкарци сатрти, те су сродни само по женској линији са староевропљанима. Ипак није то прећуткивање велика грешка. Огромна грешка му је "инвазија Викинга", под којом сматра Нордијце. Наиме, прво истраживање ДНК-а оних остатака за које се поуздано зна да су Викинзи је урађено у Данској још 2019 (по мом сећању). Дански научници су утврдили да су остаци Викинга изузетни у односу на покорено домородачко становништво. Нашли су да су Викинзи били по народности Шкоти, а затим без народности „јужноевропљани“ и „источноевропљани“. Потом су извршена истраживања и на другим местима где се зна да су живели Викинзи/Варјази (можемо их сада назвати обема именима пошто знамо да су јужно/источноевропљани, а зна се да међу нама њихови наследници славе Светог Ђорђа након отпуштања из службе Ромеје, дакле, дошли су међу своје). Налази су у суштини исти, само није свуда мешавина свију три. Дакле, наука тврди супротно од бескрајно понављаних измишљотина - Нордијски народи немају везе са Викинзима/Варјазима, а Шкоти су сродници правих Викинга. Кликнуо сам да прегледам ово предавање искључиво јер сам читао дански извештај у гугловом преводу. Предавач нам је дужан дати исправку што се тиче везе Шкота и Викинга. Шкоти, изволите, прво нађите извештај и прочитајте га, а онда притисните предавача.
No they are unique mix of migrations to the ISLAND over thousands of years from the Western European hunter gatheror, Neolithic farmer from Anatolia, beaker people from mainland Europe then the more recent migrations like the Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Norman’s…
If that was the case they would mostly likely cluster somewhere in the middle of Europe with that mix. They cluster with the Irish, English and Welsh with other NW Europeans such as Dutch, Scandinavians etc so their dna is primarily NW European.
So my Scottish side is 100% Orcadian. For generations upon generations. But they don't look remotely Norse. They look Celtic, primarily brown hair and green eyes. And although my great-grandmother was born there and is 100% Orcadian, I've never even scored 1% Scandinavian on any DNA test I've ever taken, including 23andMe. It does show Orcadian but no Scandinavian at all.
The majority of the population was still Pictish while under Norwegian rule, Norse settlement was partial and was mostly men, they never replaced the locals just ruled and intergrated. The Orkney Islands had a huge population movement from 1494 until 1659 when lots of low land Scots settled the island after the islands became Scottish. The
This is interesting but sorry; it fails to take account of the clear linear developments in Scottish Culture. There is a straightforward story that is not represented here. This is posited upon an ideological narrative, taking us in a complex journey that seeks to celebrate diversity, even where the journey was less complex and the population and its underlying ethno-linguistic patterns are less diverse.
'Celtic' means nothing to do with the tribal British Isles. In DNA tests Scots, Irish + Welsh are clubbed together which means your presumptions possibly wrong.
The fact you think people that lived so close to each other on a small Island, had nothing to do with each other , is laughable! Scotland got wiped out by the Irish invaders who wiped out whole villages and sold them into slavery and replaced them!
Utter pants. No proof of mass immigration or battles. The capital of the Gaels ( Dal Riata) was in Dunadd in Argyll Scotland. The Scoti, (Ireland was called Hibernia)which only means gael/people from the west, was mentioned by the Romans around 200 bc. Kenneth McAlpine was King of picts 848bc before merging the Scots then becoming King of Alba. His mother was a Pict Princess and he was born on the Scottish Island of Iona. What you talking about Irish invaders? Read a book ffs.😂😂🤣
@@Linz0440 The Irish slave raids in Scotland wiped out an entire village of Strathclyde in one raid, sold them into slavery and replaced them! Educate yourself, read some history! Slavery had already existed in Ireland for centuries by the time the Vikings began to establish their coastal settlements, but it was under the Norse-Gael Kingdom of Dublin that it reached its peak, in the 11th century. Britain was subject to attack across the the Irish Sea as well as the North Sea for over 400 years. Many of these attacks were intended to take Briton captives, who were then carried off into slavery in Ireland and sold in their slave markets and shipped around the world. One of them was an English boy who later became their Irish saint, St Patrick, who escaped but returned as a Christian missionary. So lucrative was the Irish slave trade they even opened an Irish slave Market in England, Bristol docks, selling Britons from their own country to be shipped around the world! It is known history not fantasy!
@@JagerScot-01 Gaelic Ireland Early medieval legal texts provide a wealth of knowledge on the practice of slavery. Gaelic raiders kidnapped and enslaved people from across the Irish Sea for two centuries.
All ancestry is unique and there is nothing particularly unique of any of the peoples of these Islands c Certainly not based on nations or artificial boundaries or borders. These Islands have naturally been subject to seaborn invasions. Scotland is comprised of at least 3 regions and languages. We know little of Brythonic language of the Picts, Gaelic came from Ireland and you have the distinctive Scots language of the lowlands. The border was always moving so one may say that there are the borderers. The Saxon kingdom of Northumbria reached to the Forth and beyond. Enough of this daft exceptionalism. Stick to the science as we understand it and as it evolves and refines. Walter Scott and Salmond have a lot to answer for. I'm 95% Welsh , Irish and English and 5% Southern french according to 23 and Me , no Scottish at all and proud of it ,if it's factual

My oldest daughter is red hair pale skinned with brown eyes my youngest has brown hair green eyes and sala skin. 🧬 are melting pot, one constant we are all 5ft 5, so no tall people in our family.
I'm Russian with "Orney" branch R1b-s6915 but it's extremely hard to find the roots. Scots, Swedes, Goths, Vikings, Equal chances.
Which DNA test did you take? 😀
@Shining-Star- almost all but full genome. Hands down, I already know that they came from North Sea region-fmily legend 😂
@@sositehui6483 Try to get a psychic reading they will tell you. Don’t say anything apart from yes or no. No feeding the psychic medium information. Otherwise Genealogy records. 💜
Mothers family came from the highlands ( McDonald and Maclnnis) and dads family came from the boarders... both parents are Scottish, lrish and norse.
Aye, same here😀
The Bell Beakers pushed all before them
I do have a robust build and hearty constitution.
Personally Scottish highlands and lowlands and Northern Ireland.
According to my wife, I am 100% Neanderthal, which I take as a compliment.
👏- So - if the glaciers had not melt and people stayed put - then more assimilation would have happened? It's all about consumption - 82% Viking here (Scot/Northern Ireland) - so what?
Without inbreeding we would be descended from 1,073,741,824 people in 30 generations, we are all Jock Tamson's bairns
I'm sorry but I have to say this. If you were born thousands of miles away - You are not Scottish. Scotland does not care what ancient "clans" your family "originated from". No clans exist. This sort of culture stealing and grandstanding online has to stop.
Too bad you’re not in control of this.
Ever hear of Ancestry DNA?
@cplmpcocptcl6306 That doesn't matter even 0.0001%. sorry.
@ I don’t know anyone desperate enough to claim to be a Scot. You should be happy if anyone does.😆

Bah humbug
You open by saying their eye were blue or green. The same genetic data you drew that from likewise explains they lacked the genes for light skin, similar to Saharan Africans. And though one can't include everything per say, the picture you begin with is missing important pieces. Some out there tend towards using genetics they favor while ignoring what they do not. People should know the full accounting. Maybe you explain it further in the video, but the start of your video sticks out like a sore thumb.
trolls, goblins, ferries, leprichaunts, four distinct native populations, great genetics not gonna lie, just not very human
My Clan originated in Dál Riata and were among the Gallowglass (Foreign Gaels) who travelled across the Irish Sea to fight for and behalf of the Irish against the Normans.
As a result they were given lands in Ireland and settled there for the next 6/700 years until the famine seen them return back to what was now Scotland in the late 18th Century.
Ironically my family settled on an Island ( Bute) just 50 miles straight as the crow flies from the Island they had departed all those centuries earlier namely Mull.
Gallowglass were Warrior Clans a mix of Gael and Norse who had by this time integrated themselves on the West Coast of Scotland and controlled much of it as a result.
I have also found out that our Clan were among those who were deposed of their Lands in the first Wars of Independence having been on the losing side and the Balliol claim to the throne via their allegiance to the Clan MacDougall (Norse / Gaels descended from Somerled and the House of Ivar) who had controlled the Lands within Dál Riata (Now Argyle and the Western Isles).
On the DNA side I would be interested to know if the claims within the Declaration of Arbroath have any genetic weight to them as there is a claim that the Scots came to these Islands by way of the Exodus from the Holy Lands up through Scythia, Spain Northern France and then mainland Britain.
The Declaration of Arbroath; April 6, 1320
_To the most Holy Father and Lord in Christ, the Lord John, by divine providence Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Roman and Universal Church_ …
_Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner. The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith. Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles Â- by calling, though second or third in rank Â- the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother, and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron forever_ .
The reason I ask is this:
The Irish or certainly some within them claim to be from the Tribe of Dan (Samson was from the Tribe of Dan) one of the 12 Tribes of Israel and actually the second largest of the 12.
They were a sea fairing Tribe who would have had the skills to Navigate around Europe and across the Channel to these shores.
1. All the clan stuff is very much for tourists. Nobody in modern Scotland buys into it. It’s a self aggrandising grift for a class if people who have mostly been born, raised and educated in the south of England for generations, for whim Scotland is a rental income and vacation-hime. If you live in north America it’s probably because your titular clan chiefs transformed into rabid capitalists, appropriated the land and expelled your ancestors.
2. It is not at all ironic that they settled on Bute. You have misled yourself a lot with modern notions of travel / accessibility. It was much easier in those days to travel around by sea, around the islands and the coasts of Scotland, Ireland, Wales than it was to travel inland. Many gallowglasses would have kept up connections back home through generations, including in marriages.
@ They were farmers on arrival Bute was an obvious choice.
As for your dismissal of the Clans and historical evidence of their involvement in Wars which not only shaped the future of what we now call Scotland but also had a lasting legacy in what we now know as Ireland.
I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating having grown up a Scotsman in the modern era.
I spent a life time wondering what we were and where we originated from,as the common perception is we were merely Irish immigrants looking for a hand out.
The reality however is far more complex than that as they did originate in Dál Riata and ultimately ended up back in the very same region in the place now know as Argyle and Bute.
@ Hi 👋🏼
3. You will find that the paternal dna of most clan “chiefs” turns out to be much more similar to one another than to yours, or to the dna of other people by that surname who still reside in the area. They are mostly Norman. Especially since most of them have been based in southern England and marrying English hirls for centuries.
It comes down to the late medieval adoption of primogeniture and a move towards more strict notions of legitimacy/illegitimacy during the Renaissance & Reformation era. The average number of generations before a man runs out of direct, legitimate male heirs is 4-6 generations. Look at almost any purported chiefly pedigree and you will find a fuzzy but where someone inherited from a grandfather, or “acquired” a barony or whatever. Most of these are morganatic marriages.
Eg, the great border clan of Seton: Seton of Seton has no sons, ir they die before him. He gets his daughter married to guy called (Alexander or Andrew I forget) de Winter. De Winter adopts the name, lands and (in right of his wife, which his eldest son will have for real) titles of Seton.
Just a generation or two later, the big and powerful Gordon family have an incumbent who has no son. His daughter has many male cousins and uncles, though. When he dies, they marry the daughter off to a younger Seton (de Winter) in a deal where some land in Aberdeenshire recently confiscated by the king and awarded to the Gordons is given to the couple, and the girl is disinherited of all the lands and properties in the south.
Thus the great Gordon of Huntly clan is born (i.e. imposed as feudal landlords on Aberdeenshire locals who don’t yet use surnames). They later became one of the most wealthy and powerful families in all of Scotland. De Winter dna.
The most common male candidates for morganatic marriages were the numerous younger sons (legitimate and illegitimate) and further descendants of the Stewart monarchs, since they had social prestige but not much money or property.
My grandmother said she was Welsh. She is 1c4r from Boone & 1c4r from Lincoln. 25% dna says Scottish.
Because of centuries of deep frying anything and everything
I'm not certain if my mind and ears are confused, but I'd swear Darwin participated in the commentary of this posting.
A big part of our ancestry are the Scythian peoples
They built Hadrians wall to stop the beer cans rolling into England
As a native Scot, a Scottish person to me today is someone who is culturally Scottish and feels that it is where they are from, not just genetic.
The genetic info we have shows what markers were dominant in the population in the past to present in that region. So I suppose this should be labelled genetic ethnicity. But, in reality someone who's parents or grandparents are from say Nigeria or China but born and brought up in Scotland is also a Scottish person, culturally they are from Scotland but not of original Scottish genetic ethnic stock.
On the other hand, say a Canadian has 90% Scottish genetic markers, that person will be ethnically Scottish genetically but culturally a true Canadian and probably has little to do with Scotland or it's people in his/her life.
With the dispersal of populations around the World from other regions and the integration of them into others the populations of the World will become more mixed. Countries built on migration from all corners of the globe like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA will become a real mixed melting pot of genetics from all over the World. High genetic diversity like this will likely be a good thing and healthier going forward.
I was tested and found to be mostly Irish Scots with a bit of English, traces of Scandi and Spannish. I would say this is my genetic ethnicity (Irish Scots, English), but culturally I am completely Scottish.
The study of genetics into local long established populations is interesting and shows us a lot about invasions, migration and even genetic diseases. Local genetics will become more diluted and mixed in the future with the movement of people, already happening in the UK.

Because its made of "gurders"?
I think Scottish people are a mix of Basques, Central Europeans like Slavs/Celts/Balkan people and Scandinavians.
Why Basques?
Not at all. Lol
Предавач није хтео да нам рекне са ким су у сродству првобитни насељеници, ловци-сакупљачи. Ми знамо да су њихови наследници најчешћи међу северњацима/нордијцима и јужњацима, а да су Баскама мушкарци сатрти, те су сродни само по женској линији са староевропљанима. Ипак није то прећуткивање велика грешка. Огромна грешка му је "инвазија Викинга", под којом сматра Нордијце. Наиме, прво истраживање ДНК-а оних остатака за које се поуздано зна да су Викинзи је урађено у Данској још 2019 (по мом сећању). Дански научници су утврдили да су остаци Викинга изузетни у односу на покорено домородачко становништво. Нашли су да су Викинзи били по народности Шкоти, а затим без народности „јужноевропљани“ и „источноевропљани“. Потом су извршена истраживања и на другим местима где се зна да су живели Викинзи/Варјази (можемо их сада назвати обема именима пошто знамо да су јужно/источноевропљани, а зна се да међу нама њихови наследници славе Светог Ђорђа након отпуштања из службе Ромеје, дакле, дошли су међу своје). Налази су у суштини исти, само није свуда мешавина свију три. Дакле, наука тврди супротно од бескрајно понављаних измишљотина - Нордијски народи немају везе са Викинзима/Варјазима, а Шкоти су сродници правих Викинга. Кликнуо сам да прегледам ово предавање искључиво јер сам читао дански извештај у гугловом преводу. Предавач нам је дужан дати исправку што се тиче везе Шкота и Викинга. Шкоти, изволите, прво нађите извештај и прочитајте га, а онда притисните предавача.
No they are unique mix of migrations to the ISLAND over thousands of years from the Western European hunter gatheror, Neolithic farmer from Anatolia, beaker people from mainland Europe then the more recent migrations like the Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Norman’s…
If that was the case they would mostly likely cluster somewhere in the middle of Europe with that mix. They cluster with the Irish, English and Welsh with other NW Europeans such as Dutch, Scandinavians etc so their dna is primarily NW European.
So my Scottish side is 100% Orcadian. For generations upon generations. But they don't look remotely Norse. They look Celtic, primarily brown hair and green eyes. And although my great-grandmother was born there and is 100% Orcadian, I've never even scored 1% Scandinavian on any DNA test I've ever taken, including 23andMe. It does show Orcadian but no Scandinavian at all.
It’s fascinating how Orcadian heritage can manifest with more Celtic features than expected, it shows how complex and layered our ancestry is.
The majority of the population was still Pictish while under Norwegian rule, Norse settlement was partial and was mostly men, they never replaced the locals just ruled and intergrated.
The Orkney Islands had a huge population movement from 1494 until 1659 when lots of low land Scots settled the island after the islands became Scottish.

The Scots are Norwegian/Irish,the English are Danish!
This is interesting but sorry; it fails to take account of the clear linear developments in Scottish Culture. There is a straightforward story that is not represented here. This is posited upon an ideological narrative, taking us in a complex journey that seeks to celebrate diversity, even where the journey was less complex and the population and its underlying ethno-linguistic patterns are less diverse.
Be fruitful and multiply - God
'Celtic' means nothing to do with the tribal British Isles. In DNA tests Scots, Irish + Welsh are clubbed together which means your presumptions possibly wrong.
Nothing is so unique, rather unique or very unique. Everything is either unique or it is not. It is a binary condition.
What a load of shite
The fact you think people that lived so close to each other on a small Island, had nothing to do with each other , is laughable!
Scotland got wiped out by the Irish invaders who wiped out whole villages and sold them into slavery and replaced them!
Pure fantasy.
Utter pants. No proof of mass immigration or battles. The capital of the Gaels ( Dal Riata) was in Dunadd in Argyll Scotland. The Scoti, (Ireland was called Hibernia)which only means gael/people from the west, was mentioned by the Romans around 200 bc. Kenneth McAlpine was King of picts 848bc before merging the Scots then becoming King of Alba. His mother was a Pict Princess and he was born on the Scottish Island of Iona. What you talking about Irish invaders? Read a book ffs.😂😂🤣
@@Linz0440 The Irish slave raids in Scotland wiped out an entire village of Strathclyde in one raid, sold them into slavery and replaced them!
Educate yourself, read some history!
Slavery had already existed in Ireland for centuries by the time the Vikings began to establish their coastal settlements, but it was under the Norse-Gael Kingdom of Dublin that it reached its peak, in the 11th century.
Britain was subject to attack across the the Irish Sea as well as the North Sea for over 400 years. Many of these attacks were intended to take Briton captives, who were then carried off into slavery in Ireland and sold in their slave markets and shipped around the world.
One of them was an English boy who later became their Irish saint, St Patrick, who escaped but returned as a Christian missionary.
So lucrative was the Irish slave trade they even opened an Irish slave Market in England, Bristol docks, selling Britons from their own country to be shipped around the world!
It is known history not fantasy!
@@JagerScot-01 Gaelic Ireland Early medieval legal texts provide a wealth of knowledge on the practice of slavery. Gaelic raiders kidnapped and enslaved people from across the Irish Sea for two centuries.
The Irish did replace some and many were sold into Dublin slave market by the Vikings but the modern Scots still have Briton dna, just no culture.
All ancestry is unique and there is nothing particularly unique of any of the peoples of these Islands c
Certainly not based on nations or artificial boundaries or borders. These Islands have naturally been subject to seaborn invasions. Scotland is comprised of at least 3 regions and languages. We know little of Brythonic language of the Picts, Gaelic came from Ireland and you have the distinctive Scots language of the lowlands. The border was always moving so one may say that there are the borderers. The Saxon kingdom of Northumbria reached to the Forth and beyond. Enough of this daft exceptionalism. Stick to the science as we understand it and as it evolves and refines. Walter Scott and Salmond have a lot to answer for. I'm 95% Welsh , Irish and English and 5% Southern french according to 23 and Me , no Scottish at all and proud of it ,if it's factual
No you are not. %s are just made up trash by a US ancestry business.
You couldn't have found a better-looking Scottish person for the thumbnail? Sean Connery, perhaps ?
