      Isn't there a province in Spain called Galicia after the Gaels who lived there originally? They migrated to Britain then to Ireland and then to Scotland. They were also called the Scoti by the Romans. So the Scots came from Spain although their travels started even before that. As far as ethnicities go the peoples of Europe share most of the same ancestors in varying degrees. We tend to identify with one nation or another but I believe we are generally of mixed descent from all of them. You can do a DNA test and I guarantee that you will be surprised at what you discover.

    My dad died on Wednesday 30th September he was 93years old from Manchester. He was a side drummer in the Cameron highlands in the war. He was still playing years later in the Whit-walks. His ashes will be scattered in Scotland even though he's an Englishman he love the place and the pipes and drums. Flowers of the forest and the Black Bear (return to barracks)will be played at his funeral. A much missed dad.

      @@dominickbenincasa5043 I experienced the feeling the Scots must instill in the enemy. I, as a Company Sergeant Major of the - now sadly disbanded Royal Danish Marines Regt, were sent to "reinforce" the Scots during a NATO maneuvre in the mid 70s, and the orders given were simple: "Feex Baj'nets", "Banners Up", and the Flags rose above to low morning mist. Then - "Drums", and the typical sound of the Scottish drums started up - one at the time. Then the Order "Kill the Barstids" - and the chage started. When we came to the "enemy" positions, they were empty - the opponents wisely chose NOT to face the attack!

    Many Americans have English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish blood flowing thru our veins. Having attended the Military Tattoo myself in 2012, I felt such a pride that my family history is in every note of the bagpipes and every drum beat!! Spent 2 weeks touring the British Isles, and I loved every second of it!! Hope to return someday!!

    Bagpipes and Drums are bound to the soul of anyone that has a heart that is with us.

    And so, our enemies live in fear of us.
