And I was born in Aberdeen of an English Father and a Scots Mother, so what does that make me - apart from a mongrel that is :-)

I am equally proud of my English and Scots Heritage.

Ewan MacColl or Jimmy Miller if you prefer, obviously discovered his Scots heritage and took pride in it. Nothing wrong with that. This seems to me yet another unjustified swipe at MacColl rather than celebrating his not unsubstantial achievements.
