Having mostly Scottish roots, I didnt really like how everything had to be JUST Irish. Where's the love? I mean we have quite a few guys who are mostly Scottish and they feel the same way, especially our piper, Sloan.

Would it be out of line to ask them if they could maybe change the direction and name to the Celtic Society or Gaelic Society? Is this a dumb idea?
I believe that Emerald societies are generally associated with police officers and firemen of Irish descent.

Why not see if there is a Scottish/Caledonian/St. Andrew's or even Celtic Society area and join it?
