I got my Y-DNA 67 markers back last year, and like the original Chisholm's I'm a Norman/Viking. A lot of Normans came to Scotland with David I. After all he was not supposed to become king, and was raised in the English/Norman court. He had no power base in Scotland so he brought along alot of people that he trusted. The Bruces, Sinclairs, Frasers, Chisholms, Fitzalan (Stuart) were given lands and scattered around the country.
