Though I am not Scotts, my mother is & that makes me 1/2 Scotts. One day I hope to make it out there. In the mean time I reside in Southern California, USA. |

You'll find many members with a wee bit of scottish blood in them, but probably most of us are from the states and Canada. My ancestors came from Peebleshire in 1806, went to Ontario, Canada where they had eleven children. Although I still have family there, my family moved to the states in 1952. BGL |

| Hello Iain! What you consider Scots (from Scotland) and what Americans consider Scots are two different things. You are a true Scotsman if you are from Scotland. The rest of us here in the states are American with only Scottish ancestry. However, we Americans all grew up stating what our nationality is and identified ourselves as such to one another. So very hard for Europeans to understand this mentality, but that is how we live here in this country. It is a given that we are Americans first. But we always state what our nationality is to others here in the states as people always ask and we always give them a reply of whatever our bloodlines may be. Hope that helps. |

| Hi Rose Hope you are well, its been a while ! Thank you for your "American" definition. Iain |

| Hey there, Iain! Great to hear from you! It has been a long while. How the heck are you?. You know? You didn't even ask the question to my so-called "American definition," so I didn't mean to single you out. I was just basically making a general comment to you real Scots who might wonder why most us Americans refer to ourselves as such, when it was our ancestors who were actually born there! |

| Rose I am well , just not been visiting forums for the last few months as often as I used to. (And you might want to look in the International Forum on this site - the New Zealand section, which you opened a couple of years ago). You finally have a reply Iain |

| Hey Iain. I, too, am not on the message boards as often as I used to be. I miss everyone, but I just have other things going on now. I have a reply in the New Zealand thread?! Oh my! I must check that out. Thanks for telling me! Talk to you soon and glad to hear you are doing well. \ |

| My father's family came from West Lothian, left Scotland for County Caven, Ireland and landed in Philadelphia in late 1700's. My Mother's father was a Scot and her mother was Irish. My parents genealogy lines cross several generations back! So, I joined Clan Henderson (father) and should join Clan Scott (mother), too. |

| If im born in australia and im half scottish can i call my selth a Scot? Here in australia all the wog kids who were born here class themselves as europeans so can i call myselth a Scot? Anndra Alba Gu Brath |

| Anndra, I am not an expert on this by any means but I will attempt to answer your question to the best of my ability. My understanding is that where ever you are born, that is what you are. Meaning, you may have Scottish ancestry, but since you were born in Australia, that makes you an Aussie or Australian to use nicer terms. I have Italian, English and Scots-Irish ancestry, but I was born in America. That makes me an American. Hope this helps. Rose |
