Scottish Canadian (Gone Rogue from Motherland)

Scottish Canadians are people of Scottish descent or heritage living in Canada. As the third-largest ethnic group in Canada and amongst the first Europeans to settle in the country, Scottish people have made a large impact on Canadian culture since colonial times. According to the 2011 Census of Canada, the number of Canadians claiming full or partial Scottish descent is 5,004,970, or 11.08% of the nation's total population.

The Scots-Irish are a similar ethnic group. They descended from Lowland Scots and Northern English people via Ulster and observe many of the same traditions as Scots.
