Given similar categories to the ones you seem to be using, it would be Scottish, English and Irish. Another set of terminology would have me identifying as an Anglo-Scot and I guess Celtic would be another option. (Specifically, I have 6 Scottish great-grandparents, 1 English, 1 Irish (but who chose UK citizenship when they got independence), and have been raised in England.
Personally, I identify as British, and that's how I think of myself both racially and nationally.
Had you considered factoring religion in? With regards to say Ireland, that might be one of the clearest distinction between certain groups, rather than ethnicity.
