The Black Isle firm Move On Up traced hip-hop star Eminem’s ancestors back more than 200 years for a television programme and found he has Scottish blood on both sides of his family. On his father’s side, the company found a Peter Mathers, from Pennsylvania, who married a Scottish woman. The singer, who was born in Detroit, is also descended from Ailsa McAllister, an Edinburgh woman born in 1847, on his mother’s side... Maureen White, who directed the programme, said: "Eminem is truly and definitely Scottish in his genes."
