Yes, history, rather than myth and legend, much of it preserved in writing for the first time only hundreds of years after the events it purports to describe.

There was no testing of DNA contained in bones. If you read the article carefully, you will see that it was the DNA of "studies of Scots living on Islay, Lewis, Harris and Skye" that was researched.
