Looks like more of the same ol same ol, the English looking down their noses at the Scots and seeing them as a caricature.

From the exploding Scotsman, red-bearded baby, and pennypinching poet in Monty Python to the Scottish innkeeper who keeps up a facade of eccentricity in Little Britain, it's just more of the same.

About this ancestry thing, go back a few generations and all of us of European ancestry are interrelated anyway...all of these people claiming descent from such-and-such a king or chief are actually correct.

Myself, most of my known ancestry is English, some is Irish and some is supposedly Scottish (with those generic British names like Stanley and Cooper and Cook etc who can say). I do travel to England and visit some of the places my people came from as well as travelling to Scotland and playing pipes with a pipe band on occasion.
