I've just dropped from 78 to 73% Scottish and they've put the 5% into Welsh. So it classes me as having DNA present in the four British Isles nations. All a bit rubbish really. £100 to find out you're, white British?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 My uncle did this years ago over a number of years. From what I recall I'm related to William Wallace but through his wife. Other than that it was rather boring: we have been farmers in south west Scotland from generation to generation. No idea at what point the shit hit the fan as I'm nowhere near (farmer levels of) wealthy nor will I ever vote Tory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ferrino Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 My cousin did it a few years ago and she said she had 3x the national average of neanderthal DNA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Northern Europeans have some Neanderthal DNA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Reasons to be cheerful thread for this pish, but my Alba voting, shortbread-tin-foil hat wearing Scottish nationalist da' got his results back recently which had him down as 65% English. He's absolutely beelin' about it and said he will seek a second opinion. My sister and I are goading him mercilessly about it though . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 My favourite was this statue. Nigel Tranter had been brought in to unveil the statue and was apparently horrified when he saw it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more of propaganda thing than doing serious harm to British control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
