kilts in Scotland

[seanboy]

So Sean, does that mean somone who is born in Glasgow of Nigerian parents is more Scottish that someone born in Canada of Scottish parents? Please explain the difference between ethnicity and nationality?

Yes of course they would be,

1. the scots are made up of many differant bloodlines, scandanavian/nordic, germanic, angol saxon etc etc.
so when a newworlder says he is of scottish ethnicity he is actually made up of many ethnicities.

3. most scottish americans are made up of many, many differant ethnicities, and most who claim to be "wholly scottish" be in for a shock if they had a dna test.

4. I do not believe that being born in scotland makes you scottish nor do I believe it is whether your parents are scottish.

to be scottish you must have at least been brought up in scotland and experianced and assimilated scotlands culture, identity, dialect, people, sense of belief, ideology, sense of inward and outword perceptions, education system, world views etc etc.

this is what makes you scottish, my friend is from iceland and moved to scotland when he was 10 he is now in his late twenties and I consider him wholly scottish as he knows what it truely means to be scottish after having the above attributes assimilate and reavaluate his identity.
and as a result I conisder him scottish.

canadians with scots parents etc, are ... well canadians. !

there may be people on this forum whi disagree with me but I think I have portayed what it is to be scottish pretty well.
