I'm from Scottish decent and there may be truth to your theory, however my calves aren't the best.

I'm descendant from Scottish royalty (15 gen back was Lord Patrick Ruthven, got some Stewarts in there too).  But I'm mostly German, and then Irish, English, French and Native American (Jamestown colony, 1620).

One side of my family originated from southern England as far back at the 14th century that I have documented and that side has genetically muscular legs from top to bottom.

It's not just Scottish trash who have big legs.

I read that people of Scottish Decent are usually blessed with better Glute/Leg muscles than most.  Because of thousands of years of herding animals on steep hills and mountains.

Any truth to that?  ???

Close, the truth is that the Scots have unusually large forearms and clogged arteries due to generations of injecting skag whilst eating dep fried mars bars. Fact!

I'm originally from Glasgow as are everyone in my family right back to my great-grandparents so I reckon I qualify as probably one of the most Scottish people on this site.

To answer the question, my upper legs are probably my best bodypart and they respond to very little stimulus - I basically do a few sets of squats and leg extensions for the quads and that's enough for them. My calves on the other hand are abysmal in comparision.

So there may be a bit of truth in your theory.

I'd also like to hear from BigMC on this one - I think he's Scottish too.

i'm from glasgow too, but my ancestors are from the central highlands ( a big mac? clan)

bigj - are you a highlander decendant or perhaps lowland or an islander or irish/scots?

i think that those of highland decent certainly have the huge calves and legs genetics.
