No poll fail.

Happy now?

don't think i qualify - as far as i know, i have to go back 5 generations for ancestor born in scotland (ayrshire) - he emigrated to canada, married an irish woman, then one of their daughters married a british soldier who was serving in canada round the time of the american civil war so that bit of the family ended up in england.

As a first gen half-scot spawn, get off the fucking thread.

hmph

 

[JimW]

Scots wahey! Not me, one great gran. We are seriously looking at immigrating as a family though.

 

[dessiato]

Anything that gets me a European passport is good for me.

[Yossarian]

Doesn't say what the deal is if you're married to a Scot but I think I'd get in easily enough - won't be a dealbreaker if they want me to surrender the UK passport

On my DNA test I came up as 14% Scottish, so I may be able to visit for a long weekend.
No idea where the 14% came from though.

 

[krtek a houby]

Some ancestors came from Scotland and am watching Outlander, so it should be a doddle.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Born on the border and all the family history is on the border so I’d hope I could squeeze in.

 

[andysays]

I haven't read the detail, but with one parent and three grandparents born in Scotland, I think I'd qualify.

Not convinced it will be happening any time soon, but that's for another thread.

 

[maomao]

I'm sitting in my Scottish parent's house in Scotland right now and have always assumed I'd qualify. At the time of the last ref we were considering moving here if Scotland had left.

My grandma was born in Edinburgh while her mum who was from London was visiting her Scottish in-laws, so I'm entitled to one but probably won't apply because I can't see a Scottish passport would confer any benefits over a UK one.

Just take all the seagulls with you when you go.

That doesn't get you in. Has to be a parent, not a grandparent.

Bah, I'm sure that changed since 2014, or maybe it was my wishful thinking.

You just need to move here before we go indy and you're in though

The way the weather is going down here I just might consider it.

It's even worse in Scotland tbh. I had three layers on yesterday.

 

[moochedit]

I have no Scottish relatives that i'm aware of and have never been there so i can't get a Scottish passport. My gran on my mums side was born in cork so i could get an irish passport (as i understand the irish rules) but i've never applied for one. Only advantage is jumping the "large queues" since brexit. I haven't been abroad since 2018 ish but i've heard from others it's not that bad using a uk passport anyway.

 

[kebabking]

Wondering if I'd get in on the grounds of previous residence....

 

[1927]

Bah, I'm sure that changed since 2014, or maybe it was my wishful thinking.

So the rules to obtain something that doesn't exist , and probably never will, changed in 2014?

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Apparently not.

But my grandfather was called Duncan Mcgregor which should count for something right?

Not the only thing you can't see as weepiper points out

 

[Poot]

The real benefit of my shiny new Scottish citizenship will be that it'll really, really piss Mr P off. Even the kids can't get it based on those criteria because I wasn't born in Scotland. IN YOUR FACES, BLUE PASSPORT WANKERS.

Too soon?

 

[Sue]

Does marrying a Scottish citizen pass on citizenship? (Just wondering if this is how I make my fortune .)

 

[Looby]

My mother was born in Scotland when my grandad was stationed there. I’ve long hoped this would be enough so
