R1A in Scotland is Norweigan

[scottch]

Around 8.5% of all Scottish men tested belong to this R1A subclade (higher in North East), but it is only found in 25% of men in Norway so around 1/3 of male lineages in Scotland must come from Norway. Most of the rest through I1 (I-M253 subclade).

I guess my maternal grandpa is Norwegian genetically then..
I think all Scots who are r1a are probably paternally linked to the historical figure, Somerled.. whose clan descendants have been tested as being r1a.

Hmm.. Your map is missing one thing, there's a pocket in Western Norway that has a higher percentage of R1a than the rest of the country. Presumably, men from that area raided Britain and spread R1a there.

Edit: Just saw that the map is for I1 instead. Nice.

this.....you think though that today we would be able to tell the impact on Ireland's gene pool the vikings had. they founded all of the irish major cities.

yea sorry I couldnt find any good maps of R1A, the I1 was just to confirm where the rest of the Norweigan male lineages (additional +15% in eastern scotland) came from and that it was around 1/3 or 33%

Surely R1a in Scotland is Norwegian. Where else could it have come from?

[Graham]

It comes from Norway & in Orkney it goes to 34.2% of all males are R1a1.

if we look for relatives of the first 12 minute markers. it turns out that the Vikings have a fellow of Britain in various countries of the Baltic Sea. http://www.semargl.me/ .
in Britain there are kit 128,507 whale it from the northern Baltic branch R1a z685 cts9551 , and a man with his Subclades in Poland.It subclade it is not known. only two persons a Pole and a Briton.

Mostly Norse-derived but not in all cases.

In case of Scottish L664, clades are both Norse and Anglo-Saxon, also various Z280 are observed among individuals (Maine from Trongate, Sanders), Z93 (descendants of Sir Godfrey McCullough, Douglas of Queensberry, Anderson from Glasgow).

Only a fraction of Z284 is probably from Somerled.

Scottish Z93? Never heard about thst. Arey they related with Indo-Iranian or Turkic subclades?
