Any truth to that? ???

It's not just Scottish trash who have big legs.

Close, the truth is that the Scots have unusually large forearms and clogged arteries due to generations of injecting skag whilst eating dep fried mars bars. Fact!

I'm originally from Glasgow as are everyone in my family right back to my great-grandparents so I reckon I qualify as probably one of the most Scottish people on this site.
To answer the question, my upper legs are probably my best bodypart and they respond to very little stimulus - I basically do a few sets of squats and leg extensions for the quads and that's enough for them. My calves on the other hand are abysmal in comparision.
So there may be a bit of truth in your theory.
I'd also like to hear from BigMC on this one - I think he's Scottish too.

i'm from glasgow too, but my ancestors are from the central highlands ( a big mac? clan)
bigj - are you a highlander decendant or perhaps lowland or an islander or irish/scots?
i think that those of highland decent certainly have the huge calves and legs genetics.

also with so much cross breeding etc these days very very races/tribes etc from th ewestern world are as they were 100s of years ago.

I always find these white conversations entertaining..."I am Scotish, I am German, I am Spaniard, I am English, I am Anglo...JE-SUS gimmie a break. These are NATIONALITIES and NOT RACES. You are ALL CAUCASIANS from the same stock. The Greeks populated what is now Rome and called themselves Romans, the romans went to Gaul (now France) and called themselves Francs, they then spread to what is now Germany, then to what is now the Netherlands (Celts), over to Spain (Spaniards) and Portugal and then went seaward to England (so called Anglos), Scotland (Scots) and Ireland.

They're not even nationalities, they're cultures. But there is nothing wrong with celebrating those cultures. Here in the US we're a young country of immigrants, a big melting pot. but people still have cultural ties to the old country. of course the culture they know is more likely to be a snapshot of the culture from when their ancestors immigrated.
Yes, my ancestry is all northern European (except for a great^10 grandmother), but I found it fascinating to do the research and find that one branch (Scottish, English) of my family tree was in Jamestown colony in 1620, then worked their way through Kentucky and Indiana before settling in southern Illinois. Many other of my ancestors arrived from France and Germany through New Orleans, then worked their way up to Illinois in the early 1800s. My Irish namesake arrived in New York City in 1850, moved to upstate New York, before also ending up in southern Illinois.

Caucasian is a RACE...If you are from Scotland, Ireland, England, Italy, Switzerland etc you are still caucasian. What is being confused for RACE amongst whites (color designation) is NATIONALITY....meaning what nation you identify with or ancestors are from.
BTW only whites do this nationality/race thing. A Chinese man is always a Chinese man regardless of what nation he lives in and no matter how many generations of children he may have in those nations. Indian is an Indian no matter where they go, Africans are African no matter where they go, Mexican is Mexican no matter where he goes etc... but a white morphs into whatever nation he resides in at that moment. Hmmmmmm strange...What has thou wrought white man that thou must hide amongst nationalities? Doth thou DESPISE thou appearance, race or lineage? Has thou a history thou wish not to be identified with? ..... SPEAK HEATHEN!!!!!!!!

Of course they aren't races but they have different genetic traits that make them unique. A Nigerian will look a lot different then someone from Kenya. We don't say they all look black or African. I do agree though that people take too much pride in their historic genetic routes. It is kind of annoying. I like the people who take pride in being Irish BAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH AHA BECAUSE HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH EVERYONE KNOWS THE IRISH ARE SUB HUMAN BAHGAHAHHAHAAHSHHAHAH FUCK

Shut the fuck up already.
Like timwhatever point out, people in this thread are referring to cultures and not race. Even if they are the same race, there's always slight variations between different stocks of the same type of people and that's what these guys are discussing.

Call a Haitian a Jamaican and watch what happens. Same with calling a Japanese a Chinese. They get very angry.

Why does EVERY WHITE get angry whenever the TRUTH is pointed out on a issue?????
Despite what you feel you are ALL WHITE...CAUCASIAN and any variation is the natural variation that exists in ALL PEOPLE.
Put a German in a room with a English, French, Spaniard, Swizz, Scandinavian, etc...REMOVE THE ACCENTS (make sure you are not including "whites" mixed with Arabs, Blacks, Africans, Indians,Indonesians, Malaysians etc) and you won't be able to tell one from the other.

It's not a race. It is a hybrid. They are classified as Caucasian still.

Depends.... The Irish have similar shaped heads. Are you telling me if you put a stereotypical Jew in a room fill with people who are English and having all accents removed they wouldn't be able to tell the difference? Because they all have the same skin tone they couldn't tell? Is that what you are saying?

we are all homo sapiens, with slight generic differences giving us different hair, skin colour etc which were adaptations to environmental factors.
thankfully for me scottish people seem to have gotten extremely lucky in regards to genetic adaptations making us strong, handsome, and intelligent ;D

This is a stupid statement.. Its like saying all africans are the same, take a group from kenya and mix them with a group of San bushman from south west africa and you wil easily be able to tell them apart..

Im not claiming that there are tons of races and i don't know why people keep assuming that i am. All i said is there are different genetic variations that some people can claim as strictly belonging to X culture/whatever.

Not true. Well, I get your general point, but your knowledge of history is atrocious.
Also, People in iceland are noticeably different than people from serbia. It would be easy to see the difference in a room. Same with ireland vs Italy, sweden verses spain. Most of the groups you mentioned have consistenly differnt genetic traits, just as a zulu and an ethiopian are different.
First of all, races are not scientific to begin with.
Secondly, one reason why you don't hear blacks talk about nigerian versus algerian or whatever (other than recent immigrants) is that their cultures do not have near as rich a history as all the races/nations of Europe. This is due to lack of written language in many cases and also to their Christianization and loss of culture during imperialism. Also, descendants of slaves may not know anything about their distant ancestors. One might argue the vast majority of Africa had cultures that were barely advanced from that of hunter-gatherers, with obvious exceptions.

Cheers pal.
The bleak weather is such a huge part of our lives that it requires a unique brand of humour to keep our spirits up.
Do you remember when Billy Connolly, who now lives in California, told the story about when he took his kids back to Glasgow? Apparently one of them looked up and said "Dad, why is the sky so low?"

The Scottish tourists that I've met in NYC have always been cool.
Often times brits can be pretty big douches.

please be aware that scotland is a part of great britain - therefore a scot is also a brit.
i am aware americans are not too knowledgable on the politics and nationalities of the different countrys within great britain, but i assume you mean english when you say brit?
if so please use the correct term for an englishman in future - cvnt will suffice ;D

I don't care enough to distinguish. Just saying those that I've come across with the funky Scottish accents(what I learned from that Disney cartoon Duck Tails, Johnnie Walker ads and TV shows) were usually better than the ones with the regular British accents.
"Englishmen" tourists are rude fucks.

Scot men are hot

I am pretty ignorant in regards to evolution and traits of different people from different parts of the world....but I would think that we are all from the same stock, but our diets and surroundings are what make us different from a physical standpoint. For example, Asian men tend to be a smaller than American men due to their diets, correct? Africans are dark due to the African sun and Irish are pale due to the overcast weather in Ireland. Common sense!?

Put a German in a room with a English, French, Spaniard, Swizz, Scandinavian, etc...REMOVE THE ACCENTS (make sure you are not including "whites" mixed with Arabs, Blacks, Africans, Indians,Indonesians, Malaysians etc) and you won't be able to tell one from the other.
I could spot a German easily. They look funny.
And anyone from the Eastern Bloc countries have a sneaky look about them.
;D
