Welcome to Scots of America—the multimedia home for the modern Scottish diaspora, proper storytelling, and cultural connection across the States.
I’m Jamie McGeechan: a Scottish musician, producer, and transplant currently navigating life on this side of the Atlantic. This project is all about exploring the deep, historic, and occasionally hilarious living bonds between Scotland and the USA through video interviews, audio episodes, and music.
At its heart, we’re diving into the real stuff—identity, belonging, and what actually happens when you pack up your life and carry your culture across a border. Through honest conversations with immigrants, historians, artists, and community leaders, we’re looking at how our Scottish roots influence contemporary life in America. Whether you’re a first-generation expat or tracing ancestry from generations back, pull up a chair. You’ve found your crowd.multimedia home for the modern Scottish diaspora, storytelling, and cultural connection across the United States.

We recorded this on location at The Scottish Arms, having a yap about the honest and funny realities of moving across the Atlantic. From navigating initial culture shock to exploring the weird eccentricities of living in the States—all while staying fiercely connected to home. Grab a drink and join us.
