How many Scots people live in Scotland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is an interesting question and one that was most recently answered by Dr Soaper of the Carslile Institute in his report "Tracing Roots, Tracing Paper: the Scottish in America - a History of the Forgotten Founding Fathers" (2003, 1st Edn. ULP). Soaper concludes that "a considerable proportion" of the population of the United States are of Scottish decent. He even claims the past seven United States Presidents have Scottish ancestry. To sum up, the answer is a considerable amount; though the emninent Dr Soaper is unwilling to put an exact figure on the number of Scottish Americans living in the USA or throughout the world. Here is more input: * Around 60% of 'Catholic Irish' Americans are in fact Protestant Scots-Irish, which makes about 20-25 million of them, add to that around another 12 million of purely Scots descent (that is to say those who emigrated straight from Scotland to America). * Americans are notorious for picking and choosing their favored ethnicities. For example, millions of Americans with just a fraction of their ancestors being Irish consider themselves Irish. This makes it even more difficult to trace ancestries and give a reasonable answer to question like this one.

What is the mystery of Flannan Isle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The mystery on Flannan isle is the disappearance of 3 light house maintenance men who vanished during a 2 week "tour of duty" on the isolated island during December of the year 1900. There was a system in place where, if in case of a emergency, a flag could be put up in the lighthouse, which could be seen from a fixed telescope on the mainland. But there was a terrible fog which lasted , i believe, almost the whole 2 weeks, preventing potential help from coming, if they needed it.

One night a passing boat reported that the light was out. It had seen it on the night before, and with no reason for it to be out, it was curious.

Hearing it was out Robert Muirhead, the lighthouses Superintendent, quickly charted a boat to the island to check on his men. Fighting furious winds and wild seas, he finally reached the island, and the storm was said to have stopped once he arrived. He and a small rescue crew entered the lighthouse to see if the maintnence men were OK.

They were nowhere to be found. Upon inspection of the lighthouse, there were some strange things. First of all, the clock inside the lighthouse was completely stopped. there was no fire or even evidence of a fire in the fireplace. And maybe strangest, there was a full meal cooked and prepared and set on the table, but not touched at all. They then searched the entire island with no success. The 3 men seemed to have just vanished into thin air.

SPOILER ALERT!! ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY.

-if u want it to stay a mystery i would suggest stop reading, if not read on!!

In the days after the incident, Muirhead did a full investigation on the island and found that the storm had cause substantial damage to the jetty and railings and that the moor ropes and crane handles had been washed away and the ropes had become entangled.

Their conclusion! the men had gone out into the storm to try and fix the problem before it became a bigger problem. They had gone quite close to the islands high cliffs. It was likely that while working, 1 of two things could have happened. 1- The strong wind had blown them off the rocks and into the sea. or 2- a high wave swept them out.

After finding out that the wind was blowing UPHILL that night, it was concluded that a freak wave swept them off the rocks and out to sea, never to be seen again.

Some pages on the internet suggest that aliens, the supernatural, or even sea monsters got the men. Truth is, the sea claimed them.

***By the way to add a little realism to it, go to google maps, type in Flannan Isle, and zoom in to inspect the island. its pretty crazy.
