Question:

Are scots a germanic people or celtic?

Is the lineage of the Scotish more celtic or germanic?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hello Dear...

Scotts are actually mostly Nordic, which is pre-Germanic, Pre-Celtic, with a goodly amount of Celtic and German mixed in.

Genetically, they have more in common with the people of Norway and Finland, than with Germanic peoples.
