Identity in the Scottish Diaspora

[neloon]

Do any of you believe - I do - that it is possible for your soul to be Scottish whatever your DNA or place of upbringing. (Jock can't be part of this because I don't think he believes in souls) I don't know how it would be - maybe reincarnation - oops, deep water here! But I used to chat (PM) on here with a US lassie who, as far a she knows, has no Scottish relatives, grew up in a non-Scottish environment yet what she knows and can say about Scotland with great dignity and understanding would put most on this site to shame. Gaelic, dancing, music - it's all there in correct balance. Yes, I expect she got a lot from books but she understood what it all really meant. It's a happy puzzle.
