The genealogy and helixmakemineadouble keywords together (duplicates out) have 2668 topics, and that's just too darned many to post as a digest. :^) Here's a few.
I'm pretty sure someone sent this or a similar link, I've had this tab open for a period of time, and it may have been posted on FR in the past, though I didn't look very hard when I didn't find it.
Anyone with any balls in Scotland moved here long ago.
Yeah the Leftist weanies run that country. I used to be proud of my Scottish heritage, used to be.
Both Scotland and Ireland have become, in the space of a decade or so, hyper-progressive, completely beholden to the dictates of globohomo. It is quite amazing.

It’s the women who elect the Socialist/Marxist politicians. :)
This is all over Twitter—migrants given housing, welfare while poor Irish are out on the street.
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%.

Yeah, I’m just here for the Picts. Thankee for upholding the standards! :-)
Several species of small furry animals were once gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict.
I’m a little let down that we got all the way to post #14. :^)

The Scots arrived from Northern Ireland.
No Norway Viking?
Ancestry DNA sorts mine at 31% Scottish, 29% Welsh, 16% Irish, 14% England & Northwestern Europe, 8% Sweden & Denmark, 2% Finland. There may be a little Pictish buried in there. If Ancestry takes the time to tease it out, I'm sure they will update the analysis.
Linguistically, I've made progress finishing the Duolingo Welsh course. I have about 25% of the Irish course and 25% of the Scot's Gaelic course complete. I have a little better affinity for Scot's Gaelic. That may be a consequence of the fractured set of Irish dialects. Welsh has 3 dialects. Most speakers can understand all 3. The Irish speaking districts are spread all over the country and each has a fairly distinct dialect.
Scot's Gaelic is based on old Irish. That comports with the arrival from Northern Ireland.
Maybe Vikings from Sweden or Denmark (via Norway)? The good news... No Limey Englishmen.
My ancient relatives either ran very fast, or the Englishmen were too polite to rape them. I’m guessing it was the latter... The English conquered the world, but they left the raping and pillaging to the French, the Irish and the Scots. That sort of tawdry exercise was beneath them.
