Not on official official documents of course but in your mind where do you place yourself and in what order?
I think of myself a EuroEnglishFrench person.

British. But digressing only a bit, when I was young I spent a whole summer in the USA travelling coast to coast Etc. I then flew back to one European country, stopover then on to the other European country where I was living at the time. I realised then how much I loved being part of Europe with different languages cultures food etc. And that’s been my feeling ever since.

I like that sentiment Grammaretto

Me too Grammaretto. It is a very Scottish concept, how we are linked to the land. But probably not unique. In my experience, the Australians have it too.

Scottish definitely Scottish. I married an Englishman and live in England. Children are so pleased they would qualify for Scottish passport if independence materialises. We ALL want to be European though.

Scottish first, then both British and European.

I’m not sure about that concept, Grammaretto. I lived for five years in Nigeria but no way would I ever claim that I was Nigerian.

Simply Scottish.

I call myself human. The countries in which I was born and raised do not define me.
