I was born and raised in Scotland and I am very proud of my Scottish heritage. I even have a deep tone voice with a Scottish accent and a hint of a lisp. I couldn't be more proud. I am happy to consider myself Scottish or British.
In terms of Scotland representation in film & television, I do not know what I really think. I guess I am just proud that Scotland is used as a focal point of certain films & television programmes. It is clear that Scottish 'stereotypes' are often heghtened within film & television and quite often historical storylines (looking at you 'BRAVEHEART'!!!!!!!!!) are incredibly inaccurate. I know some say its just entertainment, but I feel that if you are dealing with famous history, then it should be adhered to, fact by fact.
In terms of other (fictional) representations of Scotland ('BRIGADOON!'), I am not too bothered. I am proud of it all. Tartan, haggis, scotch whiskey, highland dancing, heather, bagpipes etc. You name it, I love it lol, especially Scotlands most prized attraction, our beloved NESSIE, be she fact or fiction. Even NESSIE was portrayed in Hollywood.
To find out more about my favourite Scottish legend head to the official Loch Ness Monster website.
