I'm Canadian but have a major Scotish heritage. McIntyre on one side and Ross on the other. Plus some french thrown in for good measure. Needless to say I have an opinion about everything and use my hands to express it  . Unfortunately, I never really got to learn much about my heritage from my family. I would love to go to Scotland one day though. |

Hi Ilu
This may sound strange.
I've seen so many American, Australian , and Canadian
people come back to Scotland to trace their roots.
The land must make a mark on the people???
Do you feel displaced ??
Even though from my office window I can see over the Irish sea to Scotland...I don't feel home.
When I return to Glasgow I can feel it coming up through my feet ...hahaha

I was born Canadian, my mom is a first generation Canadian. So I've never really felt like it's not home. I really love Canada. A funny little bit of my famiy story: My grandfather (mother's side) came over when he was 6. They tried to book passage on the Titanic but it was full, so they took another ship. |

Hi
I was lucky in that my folks took me to Canada when I was 15.
Got me some family over in Toronto...Hamilton if I recall.
Anyway it had a real affect on me.
I remember being in a park on Canada day ...where folks would set up stalls , concering their backround.
e.g Indian...with food etc...they would fly the Indian flag..but also the Canadian flag.
everything appeared ...well younger and less established.
Scotland..it ain't doing so well...the population is ageing and shrinking. There is terrible drug and social problems.
Very high unemployment and we are the world'd finest at heart disese, cancer, and so on...
But there is still something there...a potential !!
Who knows maybay there will be a need for a warrior nation yet ?
