I'm one of the lucky ones in coatbridge that has the paperwork to actually prove it though.... you`d be surprised at the amount of folk who just claim to be Irish just because there from the south of coatbridge
haha. I also have this paperwork. 2 grandparents had 2 Irish parents and one grandparent had 1 Irish parent. I'd say that makes me 3/5... the rest of my great grandparents were highland Scots.
My great auntie was a nun in Ireland too ;)

It's ashame so many Coatbridgers (hmm? lol) are big on Irish nationalism or even patriotism but when it comes to Scotland it's a different story. Really disappoints me!
