What US state is like Scotland?
Scotland is relatively small in area compared to the United States. If it were part of our country, it would be the 41st largest and is closest in size to South Carolina. With a population of 5.3 million, there are as many people in the entire country of Scotland as there are in the state of Colorado.
Cape Breton really is a special place with features much like the highlands of Scotland.
Berwick-upon-Tweed (/ˈbɛrɪk/ ( listen)), sometimes known as Berwick-on-Tweed or simply Berwick, is a town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, 21⁄2 mi (4 km) south of the Anglo-Scottish border, and the northernmost town in England.
Scotland is bounded by England to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and north, and the North Sea to the east.
Highland Scots usually settled in frontier regions (North Carolina, Georgia) while Lowland Scots settled in urban centers (New York City, Philadelphia). Later, Philadelphia became the common port of entry for these immigrants. Most Scots came in family groups and became farmers.

For example, Connecticut is often compared to England due to its colonial history and strong ties with the UK. Similarly, Virginia has a number of similarities with English counties such as Gloucestershire and Somerset. Both states are known for their rolling hills, picturesque villages, and historical landmarks.
No equivalent. Britain is about the same size as Oregon, a middling sized US State. I suppose the closest comparison is the four countries of the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
For example, the population of the UK is currently about 68 million. This is significantly bigger than any of the US states. California is therefore the most comparable at just under 40 million, although the UK has about the same population as California and Texas combined.
Is Scotland friendly to Americans?
While traveling in Scotland, you will quickly learn that it is a friendly nation and the locals are always happy to hear from a visitor how much you love their great country.
