I am Scottish. I am also British.

I'm fiercely proud to be Scottish.

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

I feel so Scottish when I go abroad, and I'm so proud of it, but for me, it's not a political statement - I just happen to be Scottish.

My great grandparents are Scottish, and I have this very tenuous connection which I try and bump up whenever I can, because I'd much rather be Scottish than English.

I'm three quarters Scottish, but I sound English. I don't really see British as a race.

I had a whole Scottish existence until we moved to London when I was four.

I do feel Scottish in some way. Maybe it's to do with visiting my grandparents here every summer as a child, but I am aware of my Scottish ancestry. It's there all right, but it would be pushing it to label me a Scottish painter. Or, indeed, an anywhere painter.

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