[Phil]

Phil are you not a US citizen expatriated to Scotland?

No, I most certainly am not.

I doubt if a native Scot would agree with your definition of who is a Scot. The fours years I lived as a expat in Kuwait never once would I have thought myself a Kuwaiti.

Perhaps I should have defined it more closely to include naturalised citizens of the UK domiciled in Scotland. But then how finely do we wish to split hairs on the subject?
And then how exactly would you define a "native Scot"? A dictionary might define one as someone born in a place or as a local or indigenous inhabitant which is most definitelywhat I would consider myself to be. In any event you appear to have either misread or have misconstrued my post which you reproduced and which says - "I can only speak as one of these resident Scots". I have no doubt, whatsoever, that you could find another Scot somewhere with a differing opinion.
