Anglo-Scot

Anglo-Scot, Anglo-Scotch [ [http://geauxto.com/louisiana/id15.htm Louisiana Social Studies] . URL accessed March 20, 2007] [Galton, F., (1874), "ENGLISH MEN OF SCIENCE: THEIR NATURE AND NURTURE" MacMillan & Co Publishing.] or more rarely Scoto-English are terms applied to a variety of things [Hume, D., (1739 - 40), "A Treatise of Human Nature", Penguin Publishing.] that are identified with both England and Scotland.

Most commonly, it is used to refer to people born in, brought-up in, or long-term resident in England who have significant Scottish ancestry, or born in Scotland with English ancestry.

The term Anglo-Scot may also be used to refer to people of dual English and Scottish heritage. [Galton, F., (1874), "ENGLISH MEN OF SCIENCE: THEIR NATURE AND NURTURE" MacMillan & Co Publishing.] , or in a more pejorative sense, for a Scot who is perceived to be excessively anglicised.

Unlike other similar terms (e.g. Anglo-American) Anglo-Scot does not imply dual nationality, as English and Scottish people share British citizenship status. Hence the majority of people identified as Anglo-Scot tend to be UK citizens.

Both the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and current Leader of the Opposition, David Cameron, could be termed Anglo-Scots, but for different reasons. Tony Blair was born and educated in Scotland to a Scottish family but has spent most of his life in England. David Cameron was born in England but has Scottish ancestry.
