Reading through Hg R1b1c it was said this line is the pretani people. On checking who they are, there seems no defenition on the word pretani,
some say, they are the Picts from france, some say it means painted people and others say it means anyone from the British isles.
Link below claims them as R1b1c people

In terms of the origin of the word Pict. I believe the early influential
Greek explorer Pytheas {320-380 BCE}, was the first to venture north to
Britain where he studied the production of tin in Cornwall.
He called the painted people he met in Greek- Prettanike. It was Diodorus,
{90-30 BCE}, another Greek, who later referred to our ancestors as being
from Pretannia 'land of the Pretani'. And later still it was the Romans who
latinised Pretani to Picti.
and linguistic peoplesay
Cruithne / Cruthin / Pretani, then
are they also definitely Picts?
The linguistic difference was:
Q-Celtic (now gaelic) Cruthin was the same as
P-Celtic (now Welsh) Prydyn = Pretani.
