Isn't is surprising, though, that a country the size of England, which must have a very large number of Scots and those of Scots ancestry, only has two Games?
Hmmm it makes me want to look up the percentage of Scots in England, and in the USA.
EDIT: Good ol' Wiki.
They say it's impossible to say how many people in England are of Scots descent. I couldn't find a list of surname percentages, which would be on the low side, if we restrict ourselves to uniquely Scottish names and throw out names common to both countries.
In the USA it's difficult due to the confusion/conflation of the notions of Scots and our so-called "Scotch-Irish" or Ulster Scots. One could, again, simply look at surnames and get a guesstimate.
