No I think its to do with lineage. Most people from England, Wales and Ireland ancestors come from the Basque country of Spain.

So you answered your own question ...

Your ideas are a bit skewed. The Viking gene (haplogroup I: m-170) originated on the Iberian peninsula ( Spain). In your concept of races; all vikings would be Spaniards.

Scotland is simply closer to the Scandinavian population.
