Yes maybe i worded it slightly wrong
'People living in Scotland have the highest amount of Finnish/Northwest Russian heritage (1.31 percent), which is perhaps explained by their geographic proximity.

Welsh residents have the highest proportion of ancestry from the Iberian Peninsula (three percent).'
