England andScotland .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.ee also
