I'm mostly Scots-Norwegian

3/8 Norwegian, 2/8 Scottish here. My grammy was "off the boat" via halifax. For my first years, i had a heavy scottish accent I spent so much time with her. Lefse with lingonberry was consumed this week, as ws much herring.

I've unfortunately missed out on pretty much any cultural inheritance. My Dad remembers his aunts making lefse and various other dishes, most of which I've never tasted...but it didn't really get passed down any further. His family was kind of broken, and I think that was likely a big part of it.

The grandmother I get most of my Scottish blood from is a geneology buff. I'd like to pump her for information one of these days. Only catch is that she's...um...wayyyyy on the other end of the political spectrum, wayyyy beyond Democrat (she thinks Communism just haven't been done quite *right* yet, for example), and outspokenly so a lot of the time. Fun.
