How many americans think Scotland is in England?
Don't feel embarassed. I used to think Washington and Washington DC were the same place. . I also used to think Instanbul was the capital of Turkey. I overheard a student once who thought that Thai food came from Taiwan! Own up to your geographical blunders. Don't feel ashamed, we have all made some mistakes.

As a grandson of the former President of the Clan Montgomery Society International, and having spent many summers at Scottish Games in America, I would have to say I've known Scotland is not the same as England for quite some time.

When I was small I might have, but my grandfather had a map of the British Isles posted in his home office and I learned the difference at an early age. I get confused by the countries that used to be the USSR--I can't ever remember their capitals.

Probably a lot. We don't have a lot of emphasis on geography here. It isn't taught in classes. I know that Scotland isn't in England :). I used to think the same as you with the Washington bit haha. I'm not a geography whiz though. Did you watch Miss Teen USA 2007, when Miss South Carolina messed up really really badly on her geography related question? I thought she gave Americans a really really bad name.
