Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try http://www.healthanddna.com/genealogy.ht... or another similar site. Of course, if you're a Lowland Scot, you might also ultimately be of Anglo-Saxon and/ or Norman French origin. If your ancestors came from the very North of Scotland, say Caithness, you probably have a good deal of Norse ancestry while if they came from the Western Highlands or the Hebrides (where most Scottish Gaelic speakers are--and were--located), you may be of Celtic origin.

My guess is that you probably have all these strains in your ancestry. I've traced both my paternal and maternal lines back to Scotland on Ancestry.com and found that families could and did move around within the borders of Scotland and occasionally into England and back again.

Then again, since the web site listed above charges $395 (200.030 GBP)--that's about the going rate--to explore your ultimate ethnic identity, do you really want to know all that much?
