While Great Britain is holding its breath today to see if the Scots vote for independence, most Americans (51%) have no opinion about the referendum and only 33% think most of their fellow countrymen can even locate Scotland on a map.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 30% of American Adults favor Scotland becoming an independent nation rather than remaining part of Great Britain. Nineteen percent (19%) oppose them gaining independence, but half of Americans (51%) are undecided.

And those are Scotch-Irish...lol
With a sack over his head and a beak :)
“I think we’d better schedule a few more appointments...”
When did Brooklyn become a city?????????????
.
I prefer the Glenlivet, but try any Speyside single malt, and I think you’ll be impressed.
From 1834 to 1898?
Ah, yes, I’ve been there and have enjoyed. I have been impressed!
I have fond memories of my visits to Scotland, both as a ‘tourist’ and on business. This spans a three year period from ‘78 - ‘81 when I lived in Northern Ireland (employed by an American Company with facilities in the UK).
“From 1834 to 1898?”
Oops,I did not know that.Thanks.

I was in the UK as a civilian dependent kid, ‘68-’71... Pop was USAF.
I’ve sampled many good single malts, and the best I’ve had are from the Livet, and Fiddich, and both are Speyside. I would love to go on a distillery tour...
Yes, I’m a young punk, 51 year old Grampa.
It’s somewhere wayyyy north of Eboland.
I can find the small village on a map of East Ayreshire, Scotland, from which my mother’s maiden name is derived.
Thence to Londonderry, Boston in 1718, New Hmpshire, Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Minnesota in 1856, California in 1928.
I find it hard to believe, but then I remember that Obama won twice and suddenly it’s much easier to believe.
I can guarantee is you asked the US congress not even 5% could find Scotland.
I’m surprised it’s that high of a percentage. Of course, they probably used google maps and were the 33% that could spell Scotland correctly...
Yes, unfortunately I can’t seem to remember things like that, or dates. My geographical knowledge is sketchy at best.
When I was in high school myself and other students could name every state and capital and find them on a map. My public schooled nieces and nephews cannot name or find 1/3 of them.
I can find Scotland in the liquor store. Past that, I have no use for the place.
