As a Scotsman I can confirm the stereotype. Their is an old saying "As frugal as a Scotsman" that was utilized back in the good old days before all this politically correct psychobable of today.

Subject: 63 glovebox owners manual - the bagpipe player
So I took a few friends out to lunch today in my 63. I still have the
original owners manual in the console. Towards the end is a chapter
on "How to improve gasoline economy". It includes what I always
thought was an odd and fairly random image of a guy playing the bag
pipes. I pointed it out to my friends who were thumbing through the
manual. One of them suggested it's a Scotsman who are stereotyped for
being 'frugal'. Can anyone confirm or deny that this is what Chrysler
had in mind?
Here's a link to a reasonable facsimile of the page:
