@cstross I was not born in Scotland, own *two* kilts, drink single malts, and lived in Scotland for over 0.056% of my life! I will also abide by the results of this poll.

@cstross the poll is configured to allow multiple options to be selected, so I guess you exist in a superposition.
@iampytest1 @cstross Cannae be a Scotsman then because they cannae change the laws o' physics!

@cstross Dunno, but it doesn't matter how long I live in England, I'll never be English.

Same as above, except I can further claim I descended from a Scot named 'Bell' who emigrated to Virginia from Northern Ireland in the 17th century after 'The Removal' of the Borderers from their homes south of Glasgow.
So I'll claim I'm Scots-Irish and will abide by no poll saying differently.

Like the difference between being a kids father and their dad, you are not a scout, but you are Scottish. You are what you do -

@cstross you are scottish if you choose to be so. It is an association more than a birth right.

@jackwilliambell @cstross I can trace my mother's very common Scots-Irish last name back to 19th-century Ohio. It's personally hilarious, I went on a deep genealogy binge specifically to trace that branch of the family and it was the only one that came up empty. One branch went accurately back to the 9th century in Eastern Europe, but not the one I was looking for.

Surely you must have seen the questionnaire by now?
