Fergus(s)on DNA Project

Haplogroup R-L21, Clade: Scots

 dna
formerly R1b1c now R1b1b2a1b6

The clade was so named by Nordtvedt based on his observation that persons of this group generally have a Scottish ancestry. Livingston studied the geographical distribution of this group and reports "the overwhelming concentration of this cluster is found in the British Isles and Iceland - Scotland (24%), the Shetland Islands (21%), Iceland (6%), Ireland (5%), England (4%), and lastly Wales (3%)." See also.

Scots Modal Haplotype

The table below computes a composite modal from the McEwan's R1bSTR47Scots, Nordtvedt's R1b-Sc and Pat Tagert 's ySearch ID UZ2MM modal haplotypes.

Comparison with Dál Riata surnames

A subset of the Scots group is the Colla Uais genetic signature of the Dalriadic royal house deduced by MacDonald. He writes that it "can be directly tied to the Maguire chiefs in Ulster and followed straight into Dalriada totally consistent with the historic genealogies." Mapping of the Scots Haplogroup within Britain scaled in accordance with surname distributions based on the 1881 census is being done by John McEwan. Preliminary results suggest the highest density occurs in counties north and west of Glasgow. McEwan is also compiling SNP data on this group.

Estimates of the age of the Scots Haplogroup vary, John McEwan says 63% of the age of R1b, but no matter the method the estimates are considerably older than the 1,500 years a common Dalriadic ancestor would imply. Therefore what has been presented here is not a proof that these Fergus(s)on carry the Dalriadic signature. Rather one might say that a match to the Scots Modal Haplotype is a necessary but not sufficient criteria to claim descent from the Dál Riata.

Connecting the Scots haplotype to the Dál Riata is controversial - see the thread initiated by Lohlan. Recently, Campbell concluded that instead the Scots haplotype seems to represent "the quintessential Scottish haplotype and the single closest identifier to whatever is considered the indigenous Scottish population. Sykes3 and Oppenheimer4 both write that the Picts were as close as anything to the indigenous population of Scotland."

Comparsion of 51 Non-Palindromic Markers from 67 Marker Data

One of the earliest attested members of Clan Campbell is Cailean Mór Caimbeul or Sir Colin Campbell who died about 1296. Descendants of this line have submitted to DNA testing as part of the Campbell DNA Project. They fall within the Scots Modal Haplogroup and are compared with some Fergus(s)on of this group in the TMRCA table below. The genealogies tell us that Cailean Mór Caimbeul was the son of Gilleasbaig of Menstrie, probably by Afraig the daughter of Cailean mac Donnchaidh, a great grandson of Fergus of Galloway. The close relationship to the Campbells is interesting in light of the fact that the Fergussons in Argyll likely followed the Earls of Argyll, Chiefs of the Campbells, as their chief. A document from 1568 reads "The Cowal Fergussons gave a bond on manrent to the Earl of Argyll in 15682."

Clan Gregor claims descent from Kenneth MacAlpin, the first King of Scotland who commenced his reign in 833. MacAlpin is said to be a descendant of Fergus Mór the legendary king of Dál Riata. The MacGregor DNA Project has some participants who desend from the first Chief of their Clan, Griogair of the Golden Bridles (about 1300-1360). Clan Gregor has its roots in and around Glenorchy in Argylshire which is few miles east of the parish of Balquhidder in Perthshire. There are also Fergusons with roots in Balquhidder.

"The Highland Livingstones from the Isle of Lismore and the districts of Lorn and Appin in Argyll claim a quite different origin. Their original Gaelic name was MacLeay from "Mac an Leigh" (son of the physician) or MacDhunnshleibhe (son of Dunsleve). In 1641 James Livingston of Stirling, Baron of Biel was the Keeper of the Privy Purse to King Charles I and was granted the lease of the lands and the rights of the bishopric of Argyll and the Isles and in this capacity he resided for a while at Achandu castle at Lismore."
