Recent media coverage by a British DNA testing company claims that it has found a marker indicative of Pictish origin. The marker S530 claimed as a new discovery is commonly known as L1335 by Family Tree DNA and was added to the ISOGG R1b Haplotree on 8 January 2013.
Members of this particular group were identified a number of years ago by their STR (Short Tandem Repeat) haplotype. As the haplotype was predominantly carried by individuals with Scottish origin the group has been known as STR47-Scots or the 'Scots Cluster'.
Back in 2005 John McEwan highlighted the cluster on his spreadsheet http://mcewanjc.org/p3modal.htm#_R1b_haplogroup:_subcluster_modal_haR1bSTR47Scots
Distribution of L1335 from the R-L21 Plus Project.
L1335 is one of the known subclades of DF13 which itself is a major branch of L21 a large branch of R1b-P312 (S116) part of the R1b haplogroup. The diagram below helps illustrate the current phylogeny of R-M269 as of 21 March 2013. Thanks to Mike Walsh and the team at the R1b-P312-Project at Yahoo for the diagram below.
