It has nothing to do with Scots (1 T, note) moving to Ireland and then Americarather, it has to do with the Celtic origins of both the scots and the irish, and the inability of Americans to remember words like Celtic due to there not being a Celtland.
You live in the North American continent, but you're a United States citizen. Canadians also live in North America, but they're not Americans, are they? That's about the simplest way of explaining the difference between England and Britain.

Hmmmm......I am making up the figures slightly, but I believe ther are 14 million Americans of Scottish descent, but arount 18 million who claim to be.
If I had learned to play the bagpipes when I was younger, my uncle could have gotten me a stupid amount of work playing at stuff in America. I would be rolling in it, just for playing at a few highland games and stuff.
Why the fuck did I learn the guitar instead.
