My entire paternal side is mixed Greek/German, Greek/Irish, Greek/Scottish, Greek/Polish.
Scotland and Greece
Despite the fact that the two coutries are poles apart. i.e if we imagine a NW and SE axis between Europe's geographical extremes. The following YouTube shows the remarkable things the two nations having common. e.g. early Scottish kings had Greek names such as Alexander or Constintine and the relics of Saint Andrew were sent from Greece to Scotland. both nations have the same patron saint.
Of course if Scotland does eventually break away from the UK - there will be another thing that Scotland will have in common with Greece - severe austerity. Especially if Scotland tries to get back into the EU.
