The Cultural Traits selection mentioned under the Mannish part of character creation. Will we be using these for our cultures?

The Cultural Traits selection mentioned under the Mannish part of character creation. Will we be using these for our cultures? If people would like to suggest 1-3 cultural traits (i.e. free character traits that apply to humans from those cultures), then sure. Remember, character traits are descriptive, so the best list is also known as the dictionary

I found this list searching the web for scottish culture traits sterotypes. (Dwarves?!) Drunken Violent Mean Dour and reserved Generous Hardworking Mechanical gifted Stoic Scottish culture is basically stabbing anything they don't like with a broadsword.

Some ideas of my own.
For the Lothians going on what we saw in the past, what they have gone through and mixing in something else, we could have: - Confident - Restless - Off Kilter (or Violent)
For the Lowlanders/Civilised Rjurik - Adaptable - Taciturn - Generous
For the Highlanders/ Rjurik - Stubborn - Fiery - Boaster
For the Britons/those that came forth from the southern armies. - Dutiful - Righteous (Self-Satisfied) - Hopeful
Scottish culture can be quite generous. Especially the highlanders.

Remember that descriptive traits are largely optional to roleplay, cultural traits especially so. You may receive Artha & other benefits from both playing them straight or subverting them, and you will receive no penalties for ignoring them.
I've decided on the following cultural traits:
Lothians: - Confident - Restless - Misunderstood
Bayardian/Pictish: - Stubborn - Prideful - Bitter
Bayardian/Celtic: - Adaptable - Generous - Bitter
Bretons: - Dutiful - Hopeful - Arrogant
You can put them in your character sheet if you're of the applicable culture. Or you can ignore them.
