What are some common scottish facial characteristics?

What are the differences in Irish and scottish characteristics as far as appearance?

• Answer:

  Genetically almost all the inhabitants of the British Isles, unless they have immigrated there quite recently, are almost identical, so walking down the street, it would be impossible to tell by appearance alone the Scots from the Irish. Both individuals and families have been traveling back and forth between Scotland and Ireland for thousands of years. Furthermore, the Scoti themselves came from Ireland. Indeed, 3/4ths of the ancestors of the Irish and the Scots as well as the English and the Welsh walked across the land bridge that linked the island of Britain to the European continent between 15,000 and 7.500 years ago, and from the western Scottish shore, Ireland is in sight. Subsequent invasions make up 12 percent of Irish DNA, but 30 percent of all Scottish DNA (Wade, 2007, March 5). Irish raids on the coast of both Ireland and Scotland most probably account for the red hair for which both countries are noted.
