The term Scotch as the nationality was used in the past, and no Glasgow Kiss came with it. The following are from 1897.

SAILING FROM GLASGOW, SCOTLAND:

      Nationality Scotch; Last Residence Glasgow; Final Destination McDonald Pa;
      yes has ticket to final dest.; ticket paid by father; $10; never in US;
      going to fathers home; [p-t] no; no; no; good; no.

2. Williams, Ann M. age 50; Female; Widow; wife; able to read, cannot write;
      Nationality Scotch; Last Residence Glasgow; Final Destination Philadelphia;

      going to daughter's Maggie McWilliams Russell St. Philadelphia;
      146 Rox St. Camden, N.J.; [p-t] no; no; no; good; no.
      Transcriber's note: although the passenger's name is clearly written it
      must be assumed her name is actually McWilliams, Ann as her mother's name
      is written McWilliams.
