Abax, you will find there are impressive lists of Scots in all four corners of the world.

A fact that is often missed by our homeland cousins is there are approximately 6,000,000 Scots residing in Alba, while there are 40,000,000-plus children of the Scots diaspora residing outwith Scotland. And as mentioned a time or two on this forum, many of the old Scots customs are remembered more and practiced more outwith Scotland than within, as those customs from home were all our families had left to embrace.

Thanks for the picture. This cries out for a "Show Us Your Burns Statue" thread. Here's a list to get started with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_..._and_memorials . We'll need at least one kilted member in each shot.
