If you're curious, check out [*When Scotland Was Jewish*](https://www.amazon.com/When-Scotland-Was-Jewish-Archeology/dp/0786477091) for a fascinating read, with DNA-backed evidence. \r\n\r\nAs per my message below, the timescales dealt with in the above book are too far in the past to show up on standard DNA tests' \"ethnicity estimates,\" but more sophisticated DNA approaches (e.g. Y and Mitochondrial haplogroups, triangulating shared centimorgans with other testtakers, etc.) can be revelatory.","subreddit_name":"Genealogy","author":"chain_shift"},{"body":"[https://www.amazon.com/When-Scotland-Was-Jewish-Archeology/dp/0786477091](https://www.amazon.com/When-Scotland-Was-Jewish-Archeology/dp/0786477091)","subreddit_name":"conspiracy","author":"Mausercat69"}]}
