Can I be a Scot by inclination? Please?

To be eligible to submit writing to New Writing Scotland you need to be a writer 'resident in Scotland or Scots by birth, upbringing or inclination'.
I love the idea of the last category!  What other nation would welcome you to their fold just because you felt you wanted to be one of them?  It reminded me of the National Trust for Scotland doorman in Glasgow who, when he heard where we were from, said 'Och, weel, we used to come down and raid your bit of the country all the time so you're honorary Scots really.'
