Well, apart from the correct statement about "Braveheart", this fellow is not typical of my Scottish friends, who are more than happy that the sons and daughters of the diaspora are aware of their roots.

Ironically, the Chief of the MacDonalds back in the late 90's supposedly said to someone of the same ilk who was complaining about Americans as Scottish "wannabes", that the "blood is stronger than a few thousand miles and a couple of hundred years" (not his exact words, of course).

He's not worth the trouble.
