What makes a Scot?

[Bugbear]

Ditto. I'm a Heinz 57 hyphenated American. It would be difficult to say that one part is predominant. However, both my mother and my paternal grandmother talked a great deal about their Scottish heritage and thus it became important to me and my siblings.

I can understand this. Sadly, my father clames all this Scottishness and bla bla bla, but it comes down to that he likes short bread, and that's about it. The rest is all talk, and he doesn't have the guts to put on a kilt. I saw him for the first time in seven years back in December. I had sent my step mother pictures of me wearing a kilt. I new he was just dieing to make some snide comment, but he new his place.That being said, I don't feel Scottish; I'm kind of... nothing. Nice to wear a kilt though.
