Scottish American

Scottish Americans or Scots Americans are citizens of the United States whose ancestry originates in the northwest European country of Scotland. See also Scottish ethnicity. Scottish Americans are closely related to Scots-Irish Americans, also called Ulster-Scots, who in the US are treated as part of a common ethnic group. The Ulster-Scots originally came from the lowlands and border country of Scotland before migrating to Ulster. Despite Scotland being one of the four constituent nations of the United Kingdom, most Scottish Americans do not consider themselves as being British Americans, the general term used to collectively describe Americans who are descended from the peoples of the British Isles.

Number of Scottish Americans

In the 2000 Census, [http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_QTP13&-geo_id=01000US&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-_lang=en&-redoLog=false&-_sse=on 4.9 million Americans] reported Scottish ancestry, 1.7% of the total US population. Given Scotland's population (just over 5 million), there are almost as many Scottish Americans as there are native Scots living in their home country. Another 4.3 million reported Ulster Scots ancestry, for a total of 9.2 million Americans of Scots descent.

National Tartan Day

National Tartan Day, held each year on April 6 in the United States and Canada, celebrates the historical links between Scotland and North America and the contributions Scots and Scottish descendants have made to US and Canadian history and society.

Highland Games

Scottish culture, food, and athletics are celebrated at Highland Games and Scottish Festivals throughout North America. The largest of these occurs yearly at Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina. In addition to traditional Scottish sports such as the Caber toss and the Hammer throw, there are Whisky tastings, traditional foods such as Haggis, and traditional Scottish dance.
