Identity in the Scottish Diaspora

[Jock Scot]

As long as an American, or wherever, outwith Scotland does not claim to be Scottish or a Scot, I can live with his/her ancestors.

No one can do anything about our ancestors Nathan, they are what they are. However, the Scots that I know and I happen to know more than a few, I also have a fairly large family and also have many Sottish acquaintances so not a large sample of Scotland I grant you. Nevertheless its a large enough sample for me to feel fairly comfortable in thinking as I do. You can quote this, that and the other and be totally convinced in what you say, but that is not how many Scots think.

The above reply to David, is and has always been my stance and in my experience, the stance of others in Scotland.
