Yes, it's crazy... my native must be South America, but unhappily DNA tests still have some problems to recognize different ethnic groups...
Talking about the Iberian, I saw that many spaniards and portuguese people score an important % of northwestern european, british and central european, but I've seen some of them who score more than 90% Iberian too.
Who score more Iberian % many times are basques, indeed I have an important amount of basque ancestry, also some french-basque, but FTDNA consider all basques in the Iberian spectrum.
Calm down mate it was only a joke. But you could substitute Caledonia for Scotland as Hadrians wall marks the extent of both.
Scottish people are an amalgamation of numerous groups of different peoples, Britons, Gaels, Angles, Picts, Vikings, Normans. We are not of purely Irish descent and my Y-Dna is Caledonian/Pictish which proves that point, so obviously my direct male line were in Scotland/Caledonia during Roman times :thumb001:
Doesn;t matter, as they were not Scotts, and assimieted folk is not original Scottish either.
It was Caledonia, inhabited by two different folks, which members
probably live until today there. But they were not Scots. Saying
otherwise in your example, is like saying, that Vikings couldn't
conquer Yankees of Canadians. :picard1:
First of all it's Scots one T, Second of all I didn't say Caledonians are Scots or that Scotland existed in Roman times, I know fine well that they were a Pictish tribe and countries didn't exist back then. But you do realise that the term Scotland/Scotia was used only from about the 11th century onwards and previously the original name of what is now Scotland was Alba, which itself was created from the amalgamation of Dal Riata and the Kingdom of the Picts? i.e Caedonia. And you do realise that despite being Gaelic speaking kings of Alba that they were referred to as King of the Picts up until the 10th century?. Alba is still the Gaelic name for Scotland today btw.
Scotland/Caledonia/Alba are used interchangeably today because they represent the same landmass and are important parts of our history and the creation of our country. Are you seriously trying to say that modern Scots have no Caledonian/Pictish ancestry and no links to Caledonia?
