You are correct about that. I recall one year in high school it took several classmates to correctly point out where Florida was if the typical American has a hard time finding their nation and home state on a map they likely do not care all too much about Scotland. You'd be surprised how many people think we are at war with Iran or that call Iraqis "Iraqistanies" or "Iraqians"

The ones that do know in most cases are likely not that directly concerned which way the vote goes so far as how it might effect the US anyway. The Scottish descendants that live in the Appalachians already have a strong history of self reliance so they would likely support their ancestors to vote for independence.

What kills me are the number of Americans who think a "yes" vote somehow avenges Mel Gibson's death in Braveheart.

Hooray for Holyrood.

I wonder what way Groundskeeper Willie would vote?

In the event of a yes vote win, it's goonae be time to drag out all the well worn Scottish caricatures.

Hit the vaguely Highland dirge.

"We did it---You and I."

Well it's all we know about Canadians.

I'm interested to see if the vote is at all a topic here.

I'll be part of the entertainment in Avalon Rising and we'll also be the main backing for the ceilidh. Should be fun.

The Scottish are British. I think you're confusing Britain with England.

And there isn't any British Empire any more.

And you're posting on a forum that has loads of English people on it.

And you're speaking the language of the people you just said you hate.
