Scottish ancestry
Caledonian family roots
Scottish ancestry refers to family lineage tracing back to Scotland.
The phrase appears in discussions of heritage, genealogy, and ethnic identity: She's proud of her Scottish ancestry.
In the United States especially, people often cite Scottish ancestry to explain cultural affinities—kilts at weddings, interest in Highland games, or claims to clan membership.
