eGov monitor - A Policy Dialogue Platform |: "But in fact surveys suggest 27 million Americans claim Scottish ancestry, although census date indicates that around ten million have a Scottish line of descent.
It is a wonderful compliment to Scotland that millions of Americans who are not of direct Scottish descent nonetheless claim an affinity with our nation. They are very welcome.
And I believe that it is the enduring and positive relationship between our countries - and the nature of the Scottish contribution to America, in business, in government, in philanthropy, in culture - that explains this Scottish resonance."
