    Default Scotland vs. Iceland, striking differences

    I used to think the Scots and Icelanders were similar, but I realized they are more different than I thought. Let's see.

    The SCOTTISH (football) national team, current squad (source: Wikipedia).


    This team is a bit heterogeneous. 4 players are blond, 2 or 3 are redheads, but most are brown hair, from light brown to dark brown. Most are blue-eyed, but a handful of them are brown-eyed. The Mediterranean influence is evident in a few.

    The ICELANDIC (football) national team, current squad (source: Wikipedia).

    A more northern shifted team, this squad is Hitler's dream. All players are blue-eyed and blond-haired, or at least light brown-haired, and the Mediterranean influence is practically non-existent.

    Yeah, Brits are darker (mainly in hair but also eyes) than other Europeans of a similar latitude.

    It's normal. Viking element predominates in the second set.

    Nice thread, yep they are much lighter as expected. There is a little more phenotypical overlap than I expected however, some very similar looks.

    A few of them have Irish surnames and the Irish are somewhat less blonde than the Scottish, But I doubt that makes much difference. A representative selection I would say. Irish blood is very much a part of Scottish Deep ancestry at this point and forms part of the modern composite anyway.

    Firstly dark hair is not necessarily a sign of Mediterranid blood! There are many Cromagnids with dark hair ( Bruenns, Borreby, Paleo-Atlantids) and Nordids ( Keltics). Icelanders have more of the Norse (Scandinavian) blood than Scottish folk. Scandinavia is the blondest region in the world. Thus expected them to be more blond.
    The Scottish is definitely not 100% Scottish while the Icelandic is close to 100% Icelandic.

    Cillian Murphy whom I see as a typical Irishman has very blue eyes, dark hair and a reddish beard.

    Yup. Scottish Gaelic is also very similar to Irish. There were people moving back and forth thousands of years ago and they are largely
    descendants of the same stock. Actual recent Irish origin is actually renewed admixture of the same factor that is already present.

    Well firstly you know that the Scots are Celtic folks, thus do not expect to be more blond than Icelanders who are partially more Northern Germanic. However among the English who are more Germanic than Scots/Welsh/Irish/Cornish as a whole. You will find more "Northern Germanic-looking" people. If you take a look at many of the English athlete of the 2012 Olympics Team of Great Britain.

    Some of the Scottish players are Germanic-looking as well. But the interesting thing is that the Britons are more heterogeneous, in terms of pigmentation, than the Scandinavians.

    Well, Scots are more of a hybrid lot Anglo-Cumbric, Norse-Gael so it makes sense. They're not Irish.
