Full Scottish of any generation before you would mean
1/(2^g)
for the g-th generation:
50% for a parent,
25% for a grandparent,
12.5% for a great-grandparent,
etc.
Remember that these results are based upon samples which might not lead you in the right direction. The specific numbers might be off.
But that's a significant result, just like the comment that your combined Scottish, Irish, Welsh is around 25%, which suggests a grandparent (or the equivalent) from the British Isles.
