Thank you for the forum,but I thought it was U.K. based

Much of Canada was settled by Scottish pioneers . Wow were they tough. Never underestimate the tenacity and courage of the Scottish people. Idominatable.
 

I voted yes in the referendum and will do so again. I voted SNP in the last election even though I'm a card carrying member of the Labour party.
 
I have a friend of Scottish background. Years ago, his grandfather was a United Church minister on the island! Close to where I live.. When he was introduced to the paramount chief of the local First Nation tribe, the chief suggested they go out for a run.

The minister agreed. Much of the terrain is very hilly. The minister was a former marathon runner. He kept pace with the chief for miles, thereby earning his respect, and permission to minister to his people.
 
It's another Tory household here, as it was when we lived in Hampshire. The Conservatives put up a good show here in N. Aberdeenshire, but I'm disappointed with then nationally.
When I was in work, one of my managers was the drummer for 'Screaming' Lord Sutch. Now there was a politician I would have been happy to vote for.

Much of the Appalachians and Smokies here in the US were settled by Scottish pioneers. Tough doesn't even start to describe them. You had to be tough to survive in the mountains.

Many came through Cape Fear, Wilmington NC. Also lots in the NC mountains.
