Irish Kilt?

[Phil]

This article in today's press sheds some interesting light on the origins of Scots people from DNA evidence obtained. It sounds like Ireland might not have been the origin some here are claiming after all - http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman...tory-1-2465715 . Of course it would be interesting to see a similar study for Ireland as the theory seems to be that successive migrations from east to west pushed right to the Atlantic coast until they could go no further. This would seem to imply that mainland Britain was populated first in this way after the last Ice Age before spilling over into Ireland. Interesting too that Scottish women's DNA is older indicating that they didn't move around much while many men arrived later.
