A focused population profile of Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic), with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Scottish Shetland.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) is Dutch Gelderland. Other nearby references include Scottish Orkney (Orcadian), Irish, Scottish, and Dutch North Holland. This gives the Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Dutch Gelderland. Other nearby references include Scottish Orkney (Orcadian), Irish, Scottish, and Dutch North Holland.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Dutch Gelderland is the closest listed match to the Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) average after removing Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Scottish Shetland (Shetlandic) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
