    I agree with this to an extent, as I said before if I had a child in liverpool and brough he/she up in scotland they would be scottish. it does not matter where you were born.

    However if My child was born in liverpool and brought up in liverpool then he or she would not be scottish, they would be english.
    My intention is not to offend americans/canadians of scots heritage.

    but if you were not brought up in scotland you are not a scot. The vast majority of scots, and all the scots that I personally know do not conisder americans with scottish heritage as scots.

    infact bbc scotland conducted surveys with scots to understand scottish identity. and the majority of scots said that the scottish accent defined whom was a scot. I can agree with this as a scottish accent shows you have grown up in scots culture. I will try and find the bbc link. - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4994174.stm

    ...... anyway I have been to america in several locations and I admire americans. However Americans are completely differant to scots in culture, ideology, politically, religiously. Americans and the scots are really very differant people.
