But ill train yea tae be the fiercest our bloodline has ever seen..." I never enlisted and he wasn't lying. The words of a True Warrior and gentleman. I am truly lucky he is still kicking.

"and from the title of the abovementioned satire, he evidently saw himself as English" Actually Byron himself wrote that he was born a half Scot but raised a whole one. His family moved to England when he inherited the title when he was aged 10 and he was seemingly relentlessly teased because of his Scottish accent. He only spent about 12 years or so in England before starting his travels - only returning for a short spell. In a letter to his fellow poet and author Sir Walter Scott he wrote "I would be delighted to see you again - which is more than I can say for England or (with a few exceptions) anything that it contains - but my heart warms to the tartan or anything of Scotland which reminds me of Aberdeen and of other parts not so far from the Highlands as that town"

Lord Byron's entire poem: LACHIN Y GAIR 1. Away, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens of roses! In you let the minions of luxury rove; Restore me the rocks, where the snow-flake reposes, Though still they are sacred to freedom and love: Yet, Caledonia, belov'd are thy mountains, Round their white summits though elements war; Though cataracts foam 'stead of smooth-flowing fountains, I sigh for the valley of dark Loch na Garr. 2. Ah! there my young footsteps in infancy, wander'd: My cap was the bonnet, my cloak was the plaid; On chieftains, long perish'd, my memory ponder'd, As daily I strode through the pine-cover'd glade; I sought not my home, till the day's dying glory Gave place to the rays of the bright polar star; For fancy was cheer'd, by traditional story, Disclos'd by the natives of dark Loch na Garr. 3. "Shades of the dead! have I not heard your voices Rise on the night-rolling breath of the gale?" Surely, the soul of the hero rejoices, And rides on the wind, o'er his own Highland vale! Round Loch na Garr, while the stormy mist gathers, Winter presides in his cold icy car: Clouds, there, encircle the forms of my Fathers; They dwell in the tempests of dark Loch na Garr. 4. "Ill starr'd, though brave, did no visions foreboding Tell you that fate had forsaken your cause?" Ah! were you destined to die at Culloden, Victory crown'd not your fall with applause: Still were you happy, in death's earthy slumber, You rest with your clan, in the caves of Braemar; The Pibroch resounds, to the piper's loud number, Your deeds, on the echoes of dark Loch na Garr. 5. Years have roll'd on, Loch na Garr, since I left you, Years must elapse, ere I tread you again: Nature of verdure and flowers has bereft you, Yet still are you dearer than Albion's plain: England! thy beauties are tame and domestic, To one who has rov'd on the mountains afar: Oh! for the crags that are wild and majestic, The steep, frowning glories of dark Loch na Garr.

Likewise we can pick one work of Burns to show he was this and another work to show he was that. We might also take his comment that he was raised a whole Scot with a pinch of salt too. Byron was half Scottish and half English. Those are the facts which can't really be disputed.
