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).'

I'm surprised it's not the West Midlands tbh as the black country accent is often noted as being the closest dialect to old english that's still around and in use.

Hehe, when we were all studying Chaucer at school, our teacher got us all to read it in a thick West Country accent, as that's what she thought was closest to Old English. I might have fun now re-reading with Black Country :D
