HISTORY

LIVES IN

 SCOTLAND!

 

www.kilmartin.org more than 350 ancient monuments within a six-mile radius of Kilmartin, Argyll: 150 of them are prehistoric. Celtic connection; DNA is inherited, but flaws develop as the genetic material is passed down through the generations. These become known as markers and the researchers have found that marker 222 on the Y (male) chromosome can be traced back to the first High King of Ireland Niall Noigiallach, who ruled 430 and 455 AD (who was so promiscuous that today 150,000 Scots, or 6 per cent of the population, are genetically-related). According to later accounts in the 11th century, Niall beat his brothers to the crown in feats of endurance, intelligence and romance.
