Default Ethnicity estimates

What on earth?

OH's DNA - 79% Scottish - ( NE Scotland & Northern Isles, Fife & Angus), Ireland 18% and 3% Wales. There should be lowlands Scotland and Northern England through the places his family were born c1800 Edinburgh/Midlothian and Berwick on Tweed but not a mention.

Son's DNA is 58% Scottish (NE Scotland & Northern Isles, Fife & Angus) 40% Irish and 2% Norway

However my son's ethnicity estimate gives no English or lowland Scottish heritage at all. I can understand the Irish bit through my father but there's nothing at all of my mother's Lancashire/Yorkshire heritage (only her grandmother was born in Ireland in 1860 the rest born in Lancashire or Yorkshire) and match up with other DNA matches going back to 1800.

Confused to say the least.
