A couple of months ago we moved into a new building and I met a lady with a lovely Scottish accent.
To begin with she was very friendly and we spoke about kilts, Scottish sweets and food, etc.

For some reason she now seems to have decided that as our family celebrate Burns and St Andrew's Tide, wear the plaid, etc., that as I wasn't actually born in Scotland thanks to dad not taking a job in Edinburgh but in Kent, that as we're 'more Scottish' than her family is, to totally blank me everytime she sees me now or glare at me.

Its always amazes me how small minded some people can be. Rather than accepting that people can admire and immerse themselves in another culture, they get all huffy if you're more "x" than they are.

How few of us on here were actually born in Scotland? How many of us on here weren't born there, but have links or just a love of the culture, etc.?

Even the UK government have now decided that 'nationality' is now a state of mind and not what it says on your birth certificate.

Its not going to change me one bit but wondered if anyone else has come across this?
