Show her these web sites:

http://www.calsoc.se/ (The Caledonian Society of Sweden)

http://www.sackpipa.com/eng/ (The Pipes & Drums of the 1st Royal Engineers)

http://www.electricscotland.com/sweden/index.htm (Electric Scotland's Sweden page which documents the historic and cultural links between Scotland & Sweden)

You might also mention that a number of Scots did serve as soldiers-of-fortune for the Swedes during the 30 Year's War.

See, plenty of connections.
