Here's the latest update for mine. Its fairly accurate for the UK specific bits and has been for a while, but my family usually get other countries pop in and out but there's no particular pattern, this time round i got something outside the UK which i didn't last time, of course no genealogical links to these areas really.

Scotland is always overestimated for me (Unless i have some Scottish ancestry i don't know about). But interestingly the additional Scottish is always from my Dad's side where i have no documented Scottish ancestry at all. Mystery there!

The Journey part is still the same, links me to Kent /Sussex area which makes sense genealogically.

You would have thought this is what Beta testing is for. They'd be wise to get advice from those that know their countries.

For example the Highlands listed, includes like 99% of the population of Lowland East coast Scotland going by how it is highlighted. This is basically just "scotland". The other parts are borders or areas of higher Irish input

Perhaps they could label it different or show where its mostly concentrated. Otherwise i just see error.

I don't know what lowland Scotland shows.

They've updated it from "Scottish Highlands" to "Scottish Highlands & Central Lowlands" now.

They've updated it from "Scottish Highlands" to "Scottish Highlands & Central Lowlands" now.

I can live with that, more central-East but it's ok, good they listened to a bit of feedback. It picks up 'Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Aberdeen & Inverness' as opposed to 'Glasgow & the South West Coast.' Those two groups sound different in accents, the main division is accent.
