"Redheadedness" is common in several ethnicities. Besides the Scots-Irish connection you mentioned, and the reference to Germanic tribes, you can add the area of Galacia, northwest Spain. The freckled redheads of Galacia may be due, in part, to a gene poll which included Celtic wayfarers from centuries past.
