Based on what I already wrote, you would be Scottish anyway, but there is one other rule I forgot - you can't be a citizen of two commonwealth countries, i.e. you aren't supposed to be both British and Canadian. Apologies also to McMurdo, I forgot that rule. This only works because both countries have such a rule, so the US rule against dual nationality only works with countries that also have such a rule, and the US is not in the commonwealth. Nor is Ireland, even though most former UK possessions are.
I'm not actually a lawyer, so I can forget these details without being sued for malpractice, LOL!
