There are facial expressions (or lack of them) that are also cultural identifiers. Jock has things about him that still photography doesn't expose. We just see what he looks like and how he is dressed. Steve and Kyle, as other examples, dress traditionally well, but their facial expressions reveal that they are not Scots, even though on the forum we don't hear their American accents. Jock spent many years in England and no doubt picked up some styles and manners that are English (along with his accent), but those are often-enough seen in the Highlands to make them almost native. Alex is a Lowland Scot even before he opens his mouth; I have lived in Canada on and off for so much of my life, that I have acquired mannerisms that I am sure are not Scottish.
We don't know much about Harry's background, but he now lives in the Highlands, so even if he is not 'native', he will be acquiring native traits just through association with others who are Highlanders. However he dresses, Sally poo-poos the suggestion that he looks like a visitor.
Really? Interesting indeed. I am rather curious Rex, what do my various facial expressions reveal about myself?

Likewise!
Maybe it's because you are generally smiling, Kyle, whilst we are not 
Seriously, I would like to know what my bearing and expressions say about me, Rex.

According to my sons, most of my later pictures show a doddering old boy propped up by his cromach by the photographer and I would fall flat on my face if it were taken away! 
About time I thought about my will again, methinks!

That's what I was initially thinking, however...
