Discovering my Scottish culture and questions for you Scotts?
-
Hello, all. my last name comes from the Scottish Gaelic language. I am Scottish American, but I'm also a whole bunch of other stuff (mostly Slavic and Eastern German). all European, though. anyway, I've alwayse hated my nose. I met German people, and I told them that I was part German. they told me that I didn't look it, because of my large nose. the same went for Poles I met. But, I was watching Scottish people on BBC America the other day, and I said to myself "look at their noses". I look Scottish! I was so happy to find that I DO resemble a Scottish person. I know this sounds really stupid, but it's bugges me for years. I want to look like my roots. and I look Scottish. so, how old is the country of Scotland? do they still speak Scottish Gaelic? how can I learn more about Scottish culture?

Answer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Scotland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic If you want to learn more about Scottish culture just read books and look it up online. If you look around you'll probably find Gaelic culture festivals near where you live. You should also look up your last name, clan histories are pretty interesting. :D video I found on Scotland's History: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcTDOIvf5Os&feature=player_embedded
