Would I need a passport if I wanted to go?
I was born in USA. so were the parents. I'm part scottish but that side has been in USA for a long time. My last name is scottish aswell. So if I want to go to scotland, would I need a passport? I wouldn't see why if I'm part scottish. Just curious, it looks interesting over there. Do I?

Yep. You need a passport to travel to any country (even Canada).

sadly but truly, your ;last name has no effect on goverment and traveling...it onloy matters that you are american...you will need a passport and maybe even a visa as well, depedning on country...as a general rule, i would get both to make sure i dont get stuck in an airport somewhere and find out too late....contact the scottish embassy in your state/city and ask or go on line and find out...even better, book a flight through a travel agaent whop can really tell you what is going on over there, and if it is even safe to travel there....Scotland is wonderfdul and fun and has such a rich history(aside from the drinking and pubs and wool and sheep)....

If you do plan to go and visit and your plans include an extended stay, more than a couple of weeks to a month you may need a visa as well. Check with the British Consulate. Google "British Consulate USA" to find the one closest to where you live.

Yes you need a passport.
You are an American citizen. Born in America and with no legal connection to Scotland. It's your heritage yes, but not your country.

Unfortunatly yes, you do. You'll need a passport in order to travel anywhere outside the country. Even if you are ethnically connected to that origin.
You need it because when you come back to the USA, then the government knows thats your a citizen, and dont need to wait 2 years in line for a new citizenship. Basically, its whats keeping you a legal citizen while you travel elsewhere.
