Question to Scots about Scots Americans

i'm a scot and i live in scotland
scots are very tribal
i am originally from the borders and my family has lived there forever
i moved to the west coast a while back and guess what?
i'm considered to be a foreigner
the local saying goes that unless you have six generations in the churchyard you are a stranger
go figure....

 

We have a similar belief here in the South, about people moving down from
the North. If you move here from up north, you cant be a southerner, your kids cant even be a southerner, even if they are born here, because the saying goes "Just because the cat has kittens in the oven, dont make em biscuits."
