I am certain the Earls of each do speak of their clan. And in Canada we do, we also speak of Scotland Rising, and most other countries where we have become part of a greater. It may or may not be a generational thing, that, I canna dispute. But I wear my tartan whenever I fuckin want to, I don't require it to be a formal occassion. It is to me, another item of clothing. As familiar as the salmon knife I wear, daily. I do know that the ladies born in Scotland and moved here for one reason or another certainly do lay claim to their clan. So please, again I mean no offense, when I stop and listen to Scotland the brave, or toss my caber, not very good at that, or lift a glass to the clansmen fallen for Scotland independence, (you may want to google Scotland Rising)
PEACE

It is most certainly not a generational thing. Obviously I have parents and used to have grandparents. You keep living your Disneyland Scotland. I’ll continue to live in the real Scotland.

What the fuck is up in your ass. Disney. Fuck that. It is generational. What would your grandfather say to you about clan allegiance. And his before him. Or where you kin of the ***ers at Culloden. In your 'real' Scotland, the pride has been stolen. You have been curled and rolled in flower, stuffed and fed hogswallow until you regurgitate it as truth. Learn your history, do u know why the thistle represents? You may reside on the land, but that land is not Scotland that land is part of the British Empire, long live good king Charles lol

I am going to say I must stop this discussion. I am sorry for any offence you have taken.

[mi****]

I will not comment further. You have an absolute right to your opinions. As I do mine. Adrenalina75, I sincerely do retract any that may have hurt.

My Granda would say ‘Fit ye spikkin o quine?’

[adrenalina75]

You poor poor silly man.

We are extremely proud of being Scottish. Actually Scottish. Being Scottish is absolutely nothing to do with your imaginary version of my country. It’s about living and being here. Assimilating. Knowing our present day culture. Regardless of any history. Being Scottish is not in, as in your case, being a quarter ‘Scottish’ on account of having one grandparent from Scotland. It’s not about genetics. South Asian Scottish people are as Scottish as anyone else here. And 1,000,000 times more Scottish than people like you. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Advice if you ever actually set foot in this country, do not say you’re Scottish. At best, you will be laughed at.

Nobody is part of any clan now. That ended 250 years ago.

[adrenalina75]

And unless your grandmother lived here in the 17th century, then she too, came from the ‘British Empire’. Meaning, under your definitions, you do too. The royal family holds no power in the UK, and is not greatly recognised or respected in present day Scotland. Only by a particular type of Rangers fan. There’s a smidge of Scottish culture for you. You’re welcome.

To everyone else here, apologies.

[adrenalina75]

I should add that I also knew my maternal great-grandparents until my 20s. So I know their thoughts too.

[mi****]

Never once have I ever ever claimed. And that is the last I will say on this. . warrington701 I must again apologize to you. The discussion was quite valid until apparently I tipped a cart. Please accept my deepest apologies. I hope that you will open your discussions again to one such as I.

I wish ‘Be You’ were at the beginning of every post so we don’t forget with all these roles and rules..
