OK, having gone back and looked at the site, I think what she was trying to explain (in a clumsy, idiotic sort of way) with the electricity comment was that Scotland is a modern country, and that people like the windbags on the view seem to think of Scotland as it was (historically accurately or not) centuries ago.

And that is a legitimate point. I can't remember the last time I saw a depiction of Scotland which actually made it look like it belongs in the 20th/21st century. All I can ever remember are period pieces like Braveheart or Rob Roy, or something revolving around Loch Ness. In either case you will see a castle, a kilt or two, and maybe a pub.

I'm not sure, but I think the movie unleashed might have taken place in Scotland, but it doesn't make it clear. And that's also part of the problem; If a movie or show doesn't explicitly say it takes place in modern Scotland, or have some dead give away like thick Scottish accents, kilts, and a Scottish flag flying somewhere (and god only knows what alarmingly high portion of the American public wouldn't recognize the flag) people will probably just think of it as "British" and therefore associate it with england.

So when people say that all the guys in Scotland wear kilts and play bagpipes, it's kind of like saying guys in Africa wear loincloths and chuck spears at elephants. Having been to Africa, I can tell you I never once saw anyone dressed in a way that would have looked remarkably out of place in America, and unfortunately there were no elephants in the area.
