december utc scotland is a political region as well as britain so to say one can't claim british ancestry but can claim scottish ancestry is quite absurd the northern isles of scotland are full of norwegian ancestry as well as pictish there is a far greater variation between them and people in the southern uplands than there is between many parts of england and scotland as for ulster the entire population is irish as they're from the island but the people will always remain british aswell government control is always more important than geographical location jeanne regards ethnicity as all important i call that racist
