If he doesn't like us "stealing" Scottish culture, then I'm sure he'd be more than happy to give up that which he "steals" from us.
I agree...almost completely....I do make one distinction...
that is I am an American of Scottish descent...no matter my heritage and bloodline I am an American first and it is to this country I hold my loyalty (in spite of my personal opinions about our leaders abilities).
And if I choose to honor my ancestry from Scotland by wearing a kilt or my Nordic heritage by my choice in faith, who is a Scotsman or Nordic man to say I'm wrong to do so.
