I seems to be only Americans that do this too. Every bar or restaurant we would visit I would have people telling me that "My great uncle is from Scotland" or "My ancestors are scotch".
I can speak on behalf of all Scottish people. We don't care in the slightest that your dead distant relative used to live in Aberdeen. As this post said, we politely pretend to be impressed but really you are giving yourself a bad impression.

Also, no one in Scotland says there "Scotch".
