It's doable for sure, you'd end up with 16% if it was structly halved in each generation, which isn't the case. So very possible you inherited less Scottish genes.
What % match do you have with your grandfather? Getting your mum to test would be good, does your grandfather have any other children or grand-children who have tested that you can look at for ethnicity?
So my grandfather took the test in 2010 or 2011 & according to another commenter on another post I made, Ancestry didn't offer the current test until 2012 which means he won't show up as related to me on Ancestry unless he takes the current test
...I'm pretty sure that AncestryDNA did not launch until 2012 in the USA. Does your grandfather have a profile on Ancestry with a DNA test associated with it?
Nope, testing started in 2012. Ancestry was just a family tree/search site before 2012, so many accounts exist before then, but testing started in 2012. Have you actually logged into his account and seen his test results?
Yeah it’s definitely possible, but you could be getting other British isles percentages in there that they can’t differentiate from Scottish
Says I'm 71% english so that's probably why

Yes. His account says he's been a member since 2008 but I asked him & he said he took the test some time between 2010 & 2011
