I was not born in Scotland, but I have now lived in Scotland for more than half my life (and I am over 60).

I believe in civic nationalism but not consumer nationalism. I think probably yes, but not because of the facts here listed. @cstross

@cstross but can you trace your ancestry back to the first people who walked into Scotland?

Alternatively: you're not really Scottish unless your whakapapa includes Neanderthals.

@cstross My (English) nan would throw a fit when my aunt (who has lived on Anglesey since the 1960s) called herself Welsh. I can't recall any of her Welsh friends complaining.

@cstross To clarify: this isn't a case of, "Anyone can be Scottish if they dream in tartan often enough." I believe people who live here and contribute to the common weal, or have been brought up here, are Scottish. But I don't think we'd impose that on someone who didn't want it and felt a stronger sense of belonging to somewhere else. So you get to choose.

@cstross the poll is configured to allow multiple options to be selected, so I guess you exist in a superposition.

@cstross "in what context is the question being asked"

I mean I don't believe in an abstract Scottishness

@cstross I lived in Scotland for only 9 years, but this included half my Primary and all my Secondary education, and both parents had Scottish ancestors, so I count myself as at least part Scottish.
Also I have a fèileadh-mòr.

@cstross

No True Scotsman would ask such a question.

@cstross I was not born in Scotland, own *two* kilts, drink single malts, and lived in Scotland for over 0.056% of my life! I will also abide by the results of this poll.

@iampytest1 @cstross Cannae be a Scotsman then because they cannae change the laws o' physics!

@cstross What percentage of your blood is Irn Bru right now?

@gbsills @cstross Oh man when I got to Scotland the first three meals I ate included haggis and I just kept going back for more.

Where I'm from we have something, eh, *thematically?* similar called scrapple and I love it.
