UK. SJ Dodgson. MJoTA 2014; v 8(2) p0910
I am entitled to Irish citizenship because my Irish mother was born in
Ireland when there was only one Ireland, and have UK citizenship because
I was born in England and my father was English. But my mother's maiden
name was Welsh, and she was descended from Scottish Presbyterians. And
my very English father; one grandmother was an Agnes Doherty. My
father's mother's first husband was a Scottish portrait painter from
Aberdeen; blown up in his kilt in WWI click here.
I gave 2 of my 3 sons Scottish names. My existence is typical; the
British really are a mix of all 4 countries. I only now have an opinion:
Scotland, please stay in the UK. Stay British.
