One of the problems here is the "Export of Scottishness" is done by advertisers who export the most to their advantage, with little regard to the true state of affairs.
The Kilt and most of the culture discussed in these pages is not Scottish but That of the Gaels (not Irish Gaels) who happen to be resident in that part of this country "The United Kingdom of Country Great Britain and Northern Ireland", that is currently called "Scotland".

The Gaelic culture export or tartan, not including solid groups of Gaelic descent such as in Nova Scotia. Is 99% advertising Hype from Scots (or even English) Advertisers not the Gaels themselves.

In reality, central Scotland is little different in culture than say Newcastle in England, 99% all the Tartan manufacture in Scotland is carried out in the central / Southern areas with no connection to the Gaels. Most those tartan and kilt shops down the Royal mile have more relationship to George IV or Pakistan than to the Highlands.

If you go to the Highlands and visit the castles/ monuments most are set up to be more related to the Advertising image, than the reality at the time and certainly not the reality of modern Highland life.

One of the other problems we have in these discussions is that in the UK in polite society, you do not add a racial grouping to the discussion or a person. It would be seen as racial descrimination even if that group uses it. You don't use the N word in the USA public even though some groups people that formerly would have been called that in public, still use it amoungst themselves.

We've had anti Racial-descrimination training here from our American head office. To us however we find the training descriminatory in itself, using such words as Latino- americans etc and pictures carefully staged with one "Asian" one " White European" one " person of another colour"
and finally putting up pictures up of the Statue of liberty when this multi country company of American (mostly ) ownership has people in almost every country of the world.

Oh Anglo-Scot can also mean an English person living in Scotland or a person of mixed English-Scottish parentage almost anywhere in the world
