In follow-up to my previous post reporting my autosomal SNP genetic results, and that I am ethnically over 87% from Western Europe (and significantly Orcadian), this article reports on the admixture of Pictish-Celtic and Scandinavian genes among the Scottish -
It revealed that equal proportions of Scandinavian males and females settled in Orkney, which they found to have an overall Scandinavian ancestry of approximately 30%.
So, along with my straight-up Viking ancestry which may have originated in Finland, Scandinavian ancestry significantly admixes into my Celtic ancestry through Orkney as well.
