I'm Scottish - parents scottish and given that my grandparents were gardeners and foresters - I think we were probable rooted to the land, for a long long time.

It was interesting to hear some mention of Hugenots. Some of Tim's family were chucked out of France for being of this persuassion and ended up in Ireland. Consequently, he is Irish (allowing for the fact that both he and his father were born in England) with a French surname. Almost all the people with his surname in England are related to him.

Cat considers herself a Scot of Irish descent.
