Is Ireland the most red-haired nation in the world?

[Deneb]

I think so. Look at this Irish football team, Bray Wanderers. At least 9 players are red-haired. That's a high percentage.

I believe it's actually Scotland

The auburn/reddish-Brown statistics referred to by Coon regarding the Montenegrins are not a good source because they are not based on a consistent standard or definition. Due to this they are exaggerated, including brown hair that is even slightly reddish.

No clear-red head hair was reported for the survey of 800 Montenegrins, while over 4% of a sample of ten thousand Irish had clear red hair.

Clear red hair statistics are more consistent between anthropologists and thus are a better indicator of the rufosity of a population.

Aside from anthropological surveys, Ireland has a notably higher frequency of all of the MC1R variants most associated with red hair (R151C, R160W, D294H) than the Balkans.

With all this it is also important to note that no anthropologist has ever compared the rufosity of Montenegrins to Northwestern Europeans, just to Slavs and other local groups.

Louis Bolk found overall 2.45% red hair in his 1907 survey of the Netherlands.

He found that red hair was most common in Drenthe and least common in Zeeland.

He also surveyed Dutch Jews (mostly Ashkenazi at the time) and found 2.56% red hair, which is equivalent to Gelderland province.

The Netherlands has slightly less red hair than Denmark based on the survey of Soren Hansen which yielded 2.8%, with the trait reaching frequencies of as high as 4.8% in some parts of Southern/Western Jutland.

All the nations of the British Isles have a greater frequency of red hair than the Netherlands.

I don‘t know why one would expect the Dutch to be more often red-haired than British Islanders.
