Well, the vast majority of the forum members here are in the U.S.

Some of the "Scots" here also probably have no Scottish heritage, but are merely actors who portray Scottish characters at their local Renaissance Fair, or may have a "Scottish" persona with the Society of Creative Anachronism, or a historical reenactment group.

The Tartan Army is an international org for the support of Scotland National Football Team i.e.  national soccer team.  There are chapters in some ten countries from Estonia to the USA to  Australia and New Zealand.   Literally cover the globe east to west.

As long as the discussion in this thread is about the Festival event that the Tartan Army is sponsoring then please feel free to continue.

All sport topics should continue in Mundane Topics for future reference.

Seeing that football was played in the renassaince period. I think its a valid topic. ;)

That's true, there were games that are considered the ancestors to modern football/soccer, but they're probably correct in that the -modern- sport/fan base is probably better discussed in the Mundane Topics area.

SHAZAM!  Thank you John!

Okay now that the dust has settled and the trash has been taken out, we can all now return to being the happy celts that we are.

(Blimey! You'd think a self proclaimed "true Scot" would know better then to ire a Scotswoman!)

I am a true "Scot"...

I put quotations around the word Scot as I can trace my family back through England to Scotland almost 1100 years, yet I am an American. 

I am directly related to Sir Christopher Hatton, (along with 12,000+ other folk.)  yet, I was born in Kentucky, not Scotland...

I was not placing any disparity upon the word "Scot"...

Julianne

Absolutely Angus!!! :)

In my experience, The Scottish-Americans know their ancestry; have traced their lineages and have documentation supporting their Scottish ancestral lines.

My lines include several Clans and Septs.  As such I consider myself too a "true Scot".
Muchmoreso then any English ...uh...infiltration...in the dna. ;)

It should be noted that the scots are not a racial group, the scots are part of the northern european racial group. Ethnically the scots are made up of many northern europan groups, scandanavian, anglo saxon, germanic, pictish, iberian, etc etc.
