Heritage

Many North Americans have Scottish heritage after many Scots left for America for work during the Highland Clearances and are very proud of this, therefore the single out Scotland from Britain. This is of course contrasted by the REALLY annoying American who says "You're from Scotland, England?" And believe me when I say I've met too many for it to be a misinterpreted stereotype!
