Some Scottish men's Y's are remarkably similar to those of southern England.Depends which bit of Scotland the men tested came from, I should imagine.
IIRC, the Angles were colonising what is now southern Scotland at exactly the same time as the Scots were arriving from Ireland.

"IIRC, the Angles were colonising what is now southern Scotland at exactly the same time as the Scots were arriving from Ireland."
I was going to add when I read your comment that Lowland Scotland is full of Old English place names (i.e. Athelstanesford (Æþelstanesford) somewhat west of Edinburgh).
