I spent a couple of years living in Scotland – the first year in Stirling, the second in Edinburgh – but I feel almost Scottish born.

Well, apart from the fact I look not-at-all Scottish and can’t speak with a Scottish accent or play the bagpipes. But … but … in spirit, I’m SO Scottish. Love the people, love the music, love the pubs, love the weather most of the time!

Ah, maybe not. Buzzfeed.com asked some Brits to label states in a U.S. map and the results were quite shocking. And hilarious! Check out these amazing guesses.
