When I had my DNA done it doesn't show Scottish ancestry as such. It is included with British ancestry. But if you look at the extremes of Irish, British and Scandinavian DNA they all encompass Scotland. As far as I know I am mainly Scots, Irish, and Scots-Irish, but my DNA says 48% British, 18% Irish and 23% Scandinavian. Since I haven't discovered any Scandinavians, I am going with Viking raids of Ireland and Scotland. I will admit that 23% is awfully high so I must have some from lines that I have been unable to trace. I did show 4% Italy/Greece, however, so maybe there is something to the Greek myth.
