Jock, Nathan, you both hit the nail square on with your last posts. It explains both sides of the difference - in Scotland it's not a big deal, it's just what is. Here with a massive Scottish percentage of the population, it seems to a lot of folks to be something that's missing from their lives - a gap, so it's a need that has re-created (with unfortunately, some misperceptions included).
