I'm fiercely proud to be Scottish.

Being a great believer in Scottish tradition, I followed the example of my fellow countrymen and moved to England.

I think I'm one of the most patriotic people that I've ever encountered in America. I consider myself a bedrock patriot. I participate very actively in local politics, because my voice might be worthwhile. I participate in a meaningful way - not by donations; I work at it.

My background is Scottish.

I was a good soldier in the British Army. I was born in a very, very poor family. And I enlisted to escape hunger. But my officers were Scottish and they loved me. The Scots are good, you know.

I'm Scottish first, and it's odd to hear that I'm a Scottish-American.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

Scotland is my country, the nation that shaped me, that taught me my values. A nation whose achievements inspired and inspire me, a community whose failings drive me - drive my overwhelming desire to fight for social justice and equality.

I am Scottish. I am also British.
