Every nation has to have its myths. For instance, most people are unaware that most of what's thought of as "traditional" Highland dress (clan tartan, etc) was invented by Sir Walter Scott in the early 19th century as part of the celebration of George IV's visit to Scotland.

I can spot a lowland Scot or a highland Scot instantly by their facial bone structure. The lowland Scots look nothing like the English.

The Scots are a tribe that came from Ireland and colonised the West coast of "Scotland" about a 1000 years ago.
Many of the lowland families started to inhabit the northern borders because they were forced further north by the aristocracy who were French.
Modern Scottish Gaelic is infused with the Goedelic strain where as originally it would have sounded more like the Brythonic/Welsh tongue.
Don't start me on what is English or not.
Life is to short. Does anyone truly know all their ethnic roots?

Lowland scots are not english as they migrated there over the centuries from all over scotland and ireland as well as the Nordic vikings which I might add most of my family have blonde or black hair and blue or brown eyes.I also have family from the borders as well on my mothers side and they would disagree with your question.

Are you sure Scots do this? Do they really care about it?

Probably the same people that don't concede that the English are genetically Celts.
