That’s because the best of the Scots emigrated to the US long ago.

They got thrown out in the Highland clearances to make pastures for sheep owned by English lords.

Not so - the landowners responsible for the worst of the Clearances were themselves Scots.

Plenty of the lords were Scots.

‘English lords’ is a nationalist myth.
