Scottish Celtic DNA...?

Question

My Celtic DNA is from the Perth, Scotland area, it is not Nordic, (read Viking) but where does that come from before that???

Answer 1

the goths or visgoths cant remember

Answer 2

Actually if your DNA was from Perth in Scotland it would have been Pictish more or less.

Answer 3

The Scotti were an  Irish tribe. Before that Scotland was the home of the Picts, the painted people. Some believes the picts were the remnants of the megalith-building culture,others that they were just another celtic tribe.

   Before them there were beaker people, bow-weilding traders of the Bronze age who came from middle Europe, and before them neolithic farmers (the people who raised the standing stones/tombs) ,and before even that hunter/gatherers.

None of these people were completely obliterated and it is very common if you have your dna tested to find you had an ancestor living here over 10,000 years ago!

Answer 4

Your ancestors would have come from Ireland originally. The Scotti were a tribe that originated in Ireland and went on to dominate that area of Britain. The Goths actually ended up in modern day Spain and Switzerland but in both cases were absorbed by other groups. Also the Goths were "Germanic" or "Scandinavian" not "Celtic." I am Irish through my maternal grandmother and German through my maternal grandfather as well as English through my paternal grandfather and Polish through my paternal grandmother.
