Ha, what most people notice about me is I have a Irish accent, yet am a American. I also, in prononcing words have a bit of the Scotish draw. Well I have a looooong family of Celts, who I can trace back to 1350 AD, who came to America when it was a British Colony and fought in the Revolutionary War as Patriots rather than loyalists.
I had a great great grandfather who became very weathy and owned Plantation 4 carraiges, 15 steeds, and 20 house servents (who where indentured servents just so you know, because apperently he did not approve of slavery). Also I have found some intresting things with my scotish side. My family owns the Sutherland Castle in Scotland. So I have a very celtic family and I have the accent picked up. Of coarse I was around people with Celtic accents
It is strange how Scotland was a country never dominated by any force. The romans where the first ones to try and they had been sacked and ambushed so many times marching to battle that they became frightened of the Scotish and built a wall between them and promised they would no longer attempt to invade. Next to give it a try were the English. They tried several times to invade Scotland but where unsucessful, and they too became frightened of them (well you be scared too if soe traditions involved tearing out their victims heart and placing there head on a pike and putting the headless bodies in roads).
Darn I made a history lesson again
