Bless the U.S!
On a bus ride to San Francisco we (two Scots) were talking to two girls from New York when the conversation inevitably turned towards September the 11th. "Oh!" they exclaimed " You guys heard about that then?"

In Florida a waiter at Pizza Hut was rather excited to hear we were from Scotland, seems he had always wanted to go there and see the Red Square.

According to a Texan we met - Edinburgh is in the south of Texas must have been the southern drawl that gave it away.
