Scots vs. EnglishIs a tough one.
Both my parents are Scots but my mum left at 4 years old so has no accent, my dad left at 15 and when he goes back he's got a really broad accent.
I regard myself as both Scots and English. Scots by blood but English by birth. I've got Scots friends who didn't know straight away of my heritage but guessed soon enough with some of the words I used and understood. The language *is* different.
But when I go to visit my granny and all the relatives I'm clearly English - I don't speak like them.
And there are bigots on both sides.
