I am defiantly not a Scot and I cannot possibly answer that question. As stated before I was born in England (and lived there 'til I were 10), my home is Canada (for the past 32 years, citizen at 13). I am English by birth, Canadian by choice and damn proud of both. I still hold dual citizenship (travel on a British passport). Don't you dare hyphenate me though. I am Canadian, not English-Canadian, British-Canadian, just Canadian. Don't even think of calling me a plastic Canadian either, I assimilated and swore allegience to Queen and Country. Canada may not be my birth home but you'll not find someone more patriotic than I. So, perhaps a "Scot" feels the same about Scotland.
