I'm not Scottish

[Larry124]

Betcha a nickle they get asked if they're Scots, Scottish, or from Scotland. Unless, of course by "contemporary" you are referring to the quasi-kilts offered by some of the advertisers on this site.

Not if the kilt is non-Tartan. If it's a wrap with pleats then it's a kilt. "Quasi" or not as you like.

and bearing in mind of course that the Kilt is the garb of the Highlander and not the Scot !! so its a symbol of Highland culture thats been adopted by our lowland bretheren as well, so you could legitimatly as a glasgow kilt wearer, "Excuse me are you a Highlander?"

And he could answer in the affirmative if he was a member of the 10th Battalion of the old Highland Light Infantry, also know as the Glasgow Highlanders, made up of Highlandmen who resided in Glasgow.

Really? I thought it was Marilyn Monroe...

Although I was born south of the border my parents were Scottish and I think I'm correct when I say I can claim Scottish nationality because of this. After all I think like a Scotsman, act like a Scotsman and dress like a Scotsman!

Hey Freddie - on the same page my friend! Parents from North of the Border - I was unlucky born down here - but 100% British...

Question - if Alex Salmond gets his way he'll introduce Scottish Passports. Anyone with a grandparent born in Scotland would be eligible to have one. Would you apply for one? Me - OH YEAH!

My other passion (from kilts) is Rugby. You can represent Scotland with 1x Scottish grandparent - so I'm good and my Children are good for it too! Just in case my son ever wants to play for Scotland - which is fine by me! That's me happy!!!

I looked this up and various sources say JFK was perfectly correct in his usage of "Ich bin ein Berliner". It's the faux pas that never was.

"Faux pas that never was" as maybe but all the Germans I know find it most amusing...
