What makes you proud of Scotland and being Scottish
For me think we are a friendly nation. Chat away to people.
We say thanks to bus drivers. Shop workers
We rally around in times of disasters
We are one of the most generous to charitys. |

Nothing anymore, used to be proud to be Scottish but lately it's not a thing anymore.
Especially since 55% of Scotland want to be English "British" 
Calm down just a joke slowly climb down from your not so high horse & take a deep breath
Although was just a dab of truth in there lol |

Great question.
I am immensely proud to be both Scottish and British. Yesterday at the Davis Cup was a perfect example of the combined good our nations can achieve, albeit in a sporting sense.
There's a charisma and honest I like about being Scottish that I have rarely seen in the other nationalities I have met and had dealing with. We're straight-shooters and have a wonderful ability to laugh, share, problem solve and many, many other great qualities that are too long to list.
We also make the best chips in the world. For that alone, we deserve to be top of the league!  |

You are right MsCrumpet re the amount of Festivals now on here in Scotland for Paddys Day but as a guy running a company who works at many of them can I just say that they have been set up by forming a local committee of mainly Ex-Irish Pats to arrange..... There doesn't seem the same desire amongst Scots here to do same for St Andrews Day although there are many events on in countries across the world organised by Ex-Scots Pats.....
I also think the time of year for St Andrews Day doesn't help to have events as so near to Christmas & also usually freezing.... |

I offered to organise a st Andrews social a few years ago but wasn't much interest in it sadly. |

Immensely proud to be Scottish I believe we've shaped the modern world in a positive way. I just don't think we should celebrate a greek idol. Lets make a Scottish saint out patron (there is only one). St Patrick is one of Englands few saints but is celebrated in Ireland. |
