Term for Scottish emigrant descendants?

[###KILTEDKIWI###]

I know what glasgowinhabitant is trying to say, perhaps the delivery and tone need to be adjusted for acceptability in this forum.

this is a weird one, I'm a New Zealander, first and foremost, who's family settled in NZ, and is proud of his Scottish roots.

The amusing thing in NZ, is that, it is thought that European NZer's have no culture...except that of BBQ's and beer, rugby etc...

So when someone shows a bit of pride in who they are and where their families come from (i.e The Kilt, and tracing ones roots) you unfortunately get the responses like those displayed from glasinhab.

I suggest that you may want to take your problem with peoples association with clans and families up at the gathering this year...
the tens of thousands of people may disuade your negative attitude somewhat. (and the financial benefits they bring for family associations, communities and your country directly)

I'm a Kiwi.

Our country speaks for itself, and our reputations are well known, part of that is our pride and passion for who we are...

if others don't like that, well then don't let the door hit you in the backside on the way out.

As an anthropologist, I must disagree. You may mean Culture (with a capital "C"), but everybody has a culture. Sorry to be annoying, but I've been studying culture for 4 years and need to use that education somehow!
