You know, I did that in Scotland once as a very young corporal, when some WOs/NCOs of the Scottish Division were talking to us colonials. They were discussing availability of Highland kit in Canada and at some point I had turned to one of the British soldiers and said "you Highlanders must understand, eh?" or some such.
As the Drum Major of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, he was not impressed and just gave me the dirtiest of looks as he said "I'm a Lowlander."
Being Canadian, though, I don't think I was expected to know any better.
Michael ye shoulda kent better. In Scotland folks north of Highland line divide the world into Scots and Sassenachs. Folks south of the line see the world as Scots and Teuchters. Both of them are still trying figure out where the Campbells sit. ;D No offence Edward - or at least no' much.
