The Norman invasion of England in 1066, and subsequent intermarriages and relations, pretty much ensured a complete muddling of national heritages.
I suspect there are many Scottish and English gentlemen who, if they could trace their lineage back far enough, would find a branch in the Danish/Norwegian direction.
So really, instead of thinking of it as "I'm not as Scottish as them," you should think of it as, "I'm more Norweigan than them!"
And proudly wear your kilt, regardless.
Cheers,
