Scottish Traditions

You might consider grumbling.

My grandfather was a grumbler. My father grumbled a lot. I've become proficient at grumbling. The taciturn Scot image.

And, confronting authority - a tradition of strong independence.

So that's where I get it. I thought it was just my personlity, and now I find out it's genetic.

Storytelling is a tradition of the Scots. Tell family stories, stories from your youth, stories from your friends, and feel free to emebellish as needed.
From what I've read here and other places, walking is a tradition/pastime of Scots. Take your family for long walks and point out the names of trees, give names to rocks and hills, and above all, encourage your children's imaginations.
