I am half Ecuadorian and half Maltese. My parents met in the beautiful state of New Jersey and I was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. Talk about a ethnic mix!
My Mum is an Highlander... Dad from 'Lowlands'/West Scotland
So I'm half Highland, half lowland. Or, half North / half South Scottish.
I've also lived abroad, and can speak in several accents, but that doesn't affect my genetic ethnicity (if only someone would explain that to some Scot's who see me as a foreigner!!!)
I see Scottish as being a race, not only an accent.
Regardless of these debates, by ethnicity is Picto-Celtic. (Picts + Celts = Scottish).
For some dumb reason this made me think of a funny cartoon I saw that showed a chicken & egg in bed together smoking and the caption said "Who came first?"
