Theories have been proposed to explain the prevalence of red hair in Scotland.

There are many theories that have been proposed to explain the prevalence of red hair in Scotland. The most widely accepted is that the Celts and Vikings both had a higher proportion of red-haired people, which has been passed down genetically. However, there are several other theories as well.

Celts and Vikings

One theory suggests that the Celtic people were originally from Asia, where there is a high prevalence of red hair. The Celts were also known for their fair skin and blue eyes. The Vikings are also known for having fair skin and blue eyes. Both these groups migrated to Scotland during different time periods, with the Celts migrating first and then the Vikings migrating later on.
