Pretty much standard North American Scotch-mist jockaramic mythology.

But then it's not quite as entertaining to discover the single Scots ancestor (amongst the millions of less romantic ancestors, such as English, German, Lithuanian or second-generation American) was a teenage indentured servant and not Rob Roy.
