Leo Blair, the illegitimate[10] son of two English actors, had been adopted as a baby by Glasgow shipyard worker James Blair and his wife, Mary. Hazel Corscadden was the daughter of George Corscadden, a butcher and Orangeman who moved to Glasgow in 1916 but returned to (and later died in) Ballyshannon in 1923, where his wife, Sarah Margaret (née Lipsett), gave birth to Blair's mother, Hazel, above her family's grocery shop.[11][12] George Corscadden was from a family of Protestant farmers in County Donegal, Ireland,[13] who descended from Ulster-Scots settlers who took their family name from Garscadden,[citation needed] now part of Glasgow. </p><p>In the case of David Cameron, he is a Cameron highlander born in London.

He stated (and this is recorded in Hansard - the official record of British parliamentary proceedings) - "As an English person" and "Even though I was born in Scotland". He is therefore ENGLISH. His daughter even uses her Irish passport, thus he is equally an Irish Citizen. He has thus been removed from this list, due to his own comments on the nature of his nationality. Furthermore, kieranT, there is no English-style "comes from place" any more. This is an American style. British Nationality Law is based on British parentage since the British Nationality Act 1981 which abolished Jus Soli in our laws. If you wish to find any source more potent than the mans own words, in the only official recording in the British state, then please feel free to do so. Added to this, is the large number of SNP MSP's who were born in England to Scottish parents and clearly still regard themselves as Scots. Its not a debate, Mister Blair seems to have settled the issue of his nationality when referred to by anything other than "British". </p><p><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/129.215.5.138" title="Special:Contributions/129.215.5.138">129.215.5.138</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:129.215.5.138&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:129.215.5.138 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_Scots#c-129.215.5.138-2010-04-25T10:14:00.000Z-[Untitled]" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-129.215.5.138-2010-04-25T10:14:00.000Z-[Untitled]"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-129.215.5.138-2010-04-25T10:14:00.000Z-[Untitled]"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Bonnie_Prince_Charlie?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Bonnie_Prince_Charlie?-2006-08-21T00:52:00.000Z"><span id="Bonnie_Prince_Charlie.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Bonnie_Prince_Charlie?-2006-08-21T00:52:00.000Z"></span>Bonnie Prince Charlie?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Bonnie_Prince_Charlie?-2006-08-21T00:52:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_Scots&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Bonnie Prince Charlie?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rcpaterson-2006-08-21T00:52:00.000Z-Bonnie_Prince_Charlie?"></span>Bonnie Prince Charlie-the "damned cowardly Italian"-is about as Scottish as 'German Geordie' or Swiss cheese.
