Of Scottish heritage, I would suggest 67 markers for a start and join a name project. You will also get your male haplogroup which you need. I'm quite pleased with Scotlands DNA as they have a very large data base particularly of the UK and Ireland. I would advise Chromo 2 raw and join a haplotype project or Chromo 2 Complete if you want the story of your ancestry. Their geneticists are very reputable. YDNA tests STR's and SDNA tests snp's.

I only have 23andme so you definitely have more testing than I do. Why would someone completely new to testing spend $248 dollars on 67 STRs when they could get Chromo2 (14,500 SNPs) with commentary for $309 or raw for $199?
Admittedly, FTDNA has a massive amount of STR project connections but SNPs are the future of testing.
