You might need to go back a couple of thousand years to when the Romans displaced Britons and Celts, who in turn displaced Picts...who displaced...? Then chuck in the wandering scandinavians who settled the fringes and then infiltrated further inland. What indeed is the Scottish identity - probably about as muddled as the English one.
By the way, does anyone else get the feeling that Redbarron might be a Scottish relative of SAMXXV (albeit with better grammar and spelling)?
