Western Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Northumbria. Why not Eastern Scotland?

Northern Ireland makes sense because a lot of people from western Scotland were settled there in the 1600s (the ancestors of today's Northern Irish Protestants and of America's Scots-Irish), but Northumbria was in northeastern England, so why not in the part of Scotland just to the north of there?

Did the DNA test with Ancestry... They modify it with updated results every now and then and I’m currently 50% Irish, 47% Scottish and 3% Sweden and Denmark.

In the past I was 52% Scottish, 45% Irish and 3% Germanic...

Not sure how they come to their conclusions... But it’s pretty safe to say I’m half Irish and half Scottish... So there must be a Pict gene in there somewhere. Maybe that’s the 3%.
