Are there a disproportionate amount of Scots on MN?

AIBU in thinking there is a disproportionately large amount of Scots on MN? Before I continue, there is absolutely nothing 'wrong' with this, just an observation.

I very often see on the "what are you doing today" threads posted on a Sunday that they are going to the supermarket at 9am... where England and Wales don't have extended Sunday trading hours. Or lots of "I'll be voting SNP at the general election".

Anyone else noticed this? I wonder what the percentage of active users are English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and others?

Adopted Scot here, waving from bus no. 6 on my way home. Will definitely vote SNP, but I have never been to Tesco at 9 am on a Sunday morning. Or to Sainsbury's or even Waitrose ( yup, we've even got one of those here) .

I wore pawkies growing up near Edinburgh.

In Dundee they call them mittens - I wouldn't have expected such poshness in Dundee!
