It looks like they claim the Picts were Non Indo European speakers! Too much has been made of the Picts as some kind of special group of people in my opinion, they were just non Romanised Britons who spoke a p celtic lanhuage and probably had a similar haplogroup distribution to the rest of Britain. http://www.ancestraljourneys.org/celticscothighlands.shtml On Tuesday, January 7, 2014 2:02 PM, Matthew Simonds <[email protected]> wrote: Interesting article. The authors speculate that the Picts might have been I1 or I2 although I thought that the Picts were probably a Celtic people. I also wonder if haplogroup I1 had reached Britain that early?
