Hello Dear...
Scotts are actually mostly Nordic, which is pre-Germanic, Pre-Celtic, with a goodly amount of Celtic and German mixed in.
Genetically, they have more in common with the people of Norway and Finland, than with Germanic peoples.
Namaste,

They are definitely Celtic. The original peoples were over-run by the Celtic Irish. [The irony of this was that, centuries later, the English brought the Protestant Scots to Ireland to colonize the Irish-Catholic area called Ulster.]

Nothing to do with Germanic sorry, But if you go far back you would find that they are Celtic. Not just that but Ireland and Scotland are one in the same, as in a people i mean. Although many centuries has passed that today they are totally different cultures, and as such are now two different people (i.e.) Irish and Scottish

The Scots are Celtic (Keltic) just as the Welsh, and Irish are. That's why hte names of the Scots and Irish are fairly close. Meaning the Mc and Mac.

I thought they were like the Welsh and Irish with Celtic blood and the Celts came from Austria.

once you're taking a trip do you sense the urge to place down a sea coast towel at six interior the morning, how some unexpected ought to invade a neighbouring united states of america, or consistent with possibility consume copious quantities of sausage and drink huge tankards of lager at the same time as donning leadenhosen and listening to hump-ta hump-ta song, those are far greater suitable alerts of genetic foundation than any DNA spittle attempt.

Don't be silly they are all Irish, but they used to speak Welsh.
