I had to go with Non American Part Timer w/o Scot Heritage as I'm Canadian and am of Welsh/English (not sure which... yet) descent.

If I could I would wear a kilt every chance I got!

I'm American and I wear what I want. Outside of work that is. I even wear my kilt at work about six times a year when I can con the boss into accepting it as a cultural observation. I marked Scottish heritage although, to be honest, my Scottish and Irish roots are many generations back and I was in no way raised in any Celtic traditions. Like most Americans I have ancestors from a lot of places. In addition to Scotts and Irish my ancestors were Swedes, French Huguenots, Germans, and a few who specifically turned their backs on wherever they came from because they claimed no nationality but American. I would be wearing the kilt even without any Scotts ancestry. In point of fact, I started wearing a kilt before I knew I had Scotts ancestors.

Non-American part-timer with Scottish background (both grandads were born there), plus some English and French Huguenot.

American part-timer w/ Scottish and Welsh roots on my mothers side, and Irish and English roots on my father's side. My grandma on my mother's side was a Montgomery and her mother was a MacIntyre.

Dual American - Canadian prodigy (er... I mean progeny) of a Scots-American father and a Scots-Canadian mom.

I have a touch of Scots in me. Oh, and I'm a part-timer.

I voted American part-timer with Scot heritage, but there's a caveat. I wear a kilt full time when not at work, bowling or any other activity where a kilt wouldn't work. So I'm part-time/full-time. I have Scot heritage, but its because my step-father adopted me and, according to the Hay clan officials I talked to at a Celtic festival, that makes me an out and out Hay.

Adoption counts every bit as much as blood.
