If you have Scottish ancestry...

[Bostonia]

Do you show any Finnish DNA? Particularly with 23andMe and DNAland results?

[Ayetooey]

Dna.land yes, 23andme no.

[Bostonia]

DNA Land seems to show a larger %, it is higher than my 23andMe %. The reason I ask is this: a lady from 23andMe contacted me to ask how we were related and we were able to find our common ancestor. I looked at her admixture and we both had almost the same amount of Finnish DNA. A lot of our common matches also had it. So I deduced that it came from one of the families that our common ancestor came from. One of these families is Campbell, from Scotland. So I looked into Finnish DNA in the UK and found out that the highest % appears in Scotland, particularly in the highlands. That all led me to believe it is coming from that thread. But I'm not sure.

No Finnish shows up on any of my tests but on MyHeritage, I do have 11% Baltic which seems kind of weird, and I do have a number of Finnish matches. But to be honest I do have my doubts about the accuracy of MyHeritage.

MyHeritage is a bit different from my other tests as well. I put most stock in 23andMe, honestly.

Scots were most Eastern shifted from the Brits and Irish people,on some DNA testing.
No idea why.
I know there is some R1A Scot paternal line that is not from Vikings or AngloSaxons.
Seems Scottish Celts migrated to Britain through Baltic countries.
As another strange thing some Scots migrated Poland some hundreds years ago :) .

Dna.land yes, 23andme no.

DNA.Land seems to give many people Finnish DNA for some reason :D

I was able to find this article which suggests the same. https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/genetics-show-many-scots-are-descended-from-russian-nomads-1-4272744

I would typically just consider it noise but on the 23andMe test I changed the certainty level to 90% and it still came back Finnish. On FTDNA I also have quite a few matches who live in Finland. I suppose it could still be a mistake, however.

23andme - no. Dna land 23andme upload 4% . My heritage - paid 2.2% 23andme 3.4% Ancestry 3.2% FTDNA 3.1% Living dna 2.9%

[Rædwald]

I have Scottish ancestry, but no Finnish on any Autosomal tests. I haven't yet received my 23andme, but we'll see then.

Awesome, thank you. Do you happen to have any Campbells in your tree?

[firemonkey]

Not that I know of.

[Bostonia]

Not that I know of.

My GedMatch shows much of the Orkney and Argyll like yours. Are your Scottish ancestors mostly from the highlands?

[Thorns]

No I do not show any Finnish. Clan Morrison.

[Rædwald]

I have Campbells in my tree, but they're mostly about the 1500s

You have North Slavic 1.5% and 11% Balkan and Native American 1.6%.
Native American is Siberian at origins.
Maybe 11% Balkan comes from your Scottish side, lol.

It's possible, but I don't find DNA land to be terribly accurate. I like more the AncestryDNA autosomal

I'm excited to get my 23andMe result as well.

Ancestry gives me Norway as well.

My Scottish ancestors are from Banffshire,Glasgow, Midlothian,Morayshire and possibly the Orkneys.

[de Burgh II]

No, as far as I know.

[Harkonnen]

Big mysteries of our time.

[Graham]

Haven't saw any Finnish that stands out and none on 23andme,

[Lucas]

Finnish on DNA.LAND could be actually some north Norwegian.

[CommonSense]

DNA.Land seems to give many people Finnish DNA for some reason :D

It gave me 2.3% Finnish. Seems really random.

[TheMaestro]

Yeah I got 7.2% it's random as fuck :D

[Harkonnen]

Sometimes those admix calcs do shoot some random shit. That's true.

[Grace O'Malley]

Not Scottish but Irish. My daughter has trace Finnish on 23andMe and my brother, mother and daughter has it on FTDNA and also MyHeritage.
