I know that when you open it then it does confirm they lump Ireland, Welsh
and Scottish together. Probably difficult to separate but just seems the
wrong name for the category.
Their Scandinavian category includes the Iberian Peninsula and Italy /
Greece.

Hi Martin
If you look at their map, you will see that Irish covers a lot of the UK
too. I would recommend you download your results and upload to GEDmatch
(free) and use their admixture tool for a further breakdown of your
ethnicity. Video of how to upload to GEDmatch here:

I had the results of my Ancestry DNA test this morning.
Annoyingly they seem to class Welsh as Irish! I am half Welsh but
according to Ancestry I am 64% Irish.
I would have thought they could find a better description for what
probably also includes Gaelic Scotland. I can imagine someone getting
their results in the USA and wasting a lot of time looking for an Irish
connection.
