What are the people like in Scotland?
Usually they have red/blond hair, and their skin gets red easily.
Actually, there are quite a few Scottish people with dark hair, too. If they live in Scotland, then they may tend to sunburn more easily, since Scotland's summers and sun rays don't get as intense as they do here in the US, so they are not acclimated to the heat and harsher sun as those that live in the warmer climates.
There is no way to look Scottish. Britain is in the most convenient of locations in the sense that throughout history they have seen many different occupants, such as the Norse, Frisian vikings invading Lindisfarne and the northeast, the Normans from France, Saxons from Germany, and of course, the Romans. This leaves the island with a variety of different appearances. In the case of Scotland, they would have mostly the native Celts, with ginger hair and pale skin, and Norwegians, with blond hair. My clan name is Gunn, which is a highland clan of Norse decent. I have dark blond hair, but I've also got Celtic, thus giving me a red beard. Lots of us also have grey eyes.
Another thing common among the Scottish is body hair (this, along with pale skin and burning easy, has to do with cold conditions). There are also dark Scots, and they are descended from the Normans and Romans, but not necessarily.
Most people in Scotland have brown hair , then blond, then black and then ginger. I am Scottish live in Scotland was born and raised in Scotland, so I should know.
