Interesting thread. I have always regarded myself as Scottish as I was born in Scotland. All four of my grandparents were born in Scotland, though one was born into an Irish family who had just arrived in Scotland the previous year. His older brothers had been born in Ireland and they all emigrated to Canada in the early years of the twentieth century where their families multiplied with each generation. Meantime the Scottish branches of my family died out, so although I am Scottish and live in Scotland, most of my relatives are Canadians of Irish descent.
