That's what I have found, it doesn't make sense because as far as I have gone back my mother has not a bit of Scottish in her and it would come as a great surprise to her if she were alive.
I am assuming Parent 1 is father and Parent 2 is mother the bits I find unusual and unexpected are highlighted in red. I suppose it isn't very accurate at all.
Parent 1 - Father
Scotland - 27%
England & Northwestern Europe - 0%
Ireland - 21%
Norway - 0%
Wales - 2%
Parent 2 - Mother
Scotland - 17%
England & Northwestern Europe - 22%
Ireland - 0%
Norway - 11%
Wales - 0%

Scotland - 44%
