I did mention it a wee while ago but can't find the ref.


Ah thanks, an interesting read and a bit more research to do. I do believe now I think about it that the McLeod's are also said to descend from the Vikings. Will do a bit more reading.




Looks like the Isle of Man had a major input .

It's a fast changing subject and books are out of date by the time they become available but Jean Manco's http://www.thamesandhudson.com/Blood_of_the_Celts/9780500051832 is worth a read for a much broader perspective than the Scots /Irish etc genetics , and it is still pretty much up to date despite missing out on the important Rathlin Island DNA which only became available 6 months after the first edition .
