Scots often have red hair due to a high prevalence of the MC1R gene variant, which is responsible for red hair and fair skin. This genetic trait is more common in populations with Celtic ancestry, particularly in Scotland and Ireland. The unique combination of genetics and the historical isolation of these populations contributed to the distinctive presence of redheads in Scotland. Additionally, environmental factors and natural selection may have played a role in the survival of these traits in the northern climate.

What are Scottish physical traits?
"white skin, blue eyes, blond hair normally but sometimes brown or red hair" Scotland has a much higher than average percentage of people with red hair and also with the red 'gene', compared with any other country in the world. In Scotland, 13% of the population has red hair while an estimated 40% actually have the red gene. This is disproportionately high considering that, as a percentage, red heads make up less than 2% of the world's population. Red hair, is thus a very typical Scottish trait. Historically, Red headed people have only ever been recorded as a group by the Romans, when the Roman historian Tacitus described the Picts as having 'red hair and large limbs.' Modern anthropologists have now placed red hair as a unique characteristic of the Picts - Picts being the original name for the Scots.
