What makes a Scot?

[McFarkus]

for purposes of this board and in general, I feel that I am an American with Scottish heritage. And that's just my opinion.

Ditto. I'm a Heinz 57 hyphenated American. It would be difficult to say that one part is predominant. However, both my mother and my paternal grandmother talked a great deal about their Scottish heritage and thus it became important to me and my siblings.
