A person who displays a strong attachment to both Scotland and England.
Usually it means someone born and/or brought up in Scotland with English ancestry/origins, or vice versa.
Given the longstanding rivalry between Scotland and England (and antipathy between Scots and the English), being an Anglo-Scot can create problems, especially at sporting occasions, but there are many millions of Anglo-Scots in the UK (including many who feel the need to hide the fact) and no Anglo-Scot is less a Scottish patriot or English patriot for it.
Indeed, in Scotland an Anglo-Scot is as likely to be a Scottish nationalist as they are to be a British unionist.
Only a narrow-minded racist could try and convince you otherwise.
"She's not a Englishwoman, and she's not a Scotswoman. She's an Anglo-Scot."
"Sounds tricky."
"It can be."

The Germanic-speaking descendants of three tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who came from Denmark, northwestern Germany, and Holland, who settled in what are now England and southern Scotland in the fifth century, displacing the native Celts. Though they had close cultural ties with Scandinavia, they were on the recieving end of the Viking Raids from 793 to 1066, when the Anglo-Saxon government (now mostly under the control of Vikings) was annihilated by the Normans, a powerful group of French-speaking Vikings.
Beowulf is a notable example of Anglo-Saxon verse.

anglo-sexon is a term for the category of British movie-actors,(well, not only actors) who simply ooze smexiness and all you can do is watch a bunch of movies with them and cry out in a fangirl manner: 'awww, this guy is PURE F*CKING SMEEX!I LUV HIM!'
A:Have you seen the latest movie with Paul Bettany?
B:Yeah! It was awesome! I have a sudden urge to go to GB and have his babies!
A:Aww, I adore anglo-sexons! One day I'll come to GB and meet my own one and he'll marry me!

One of descent from England, but no-where else (not even other parts of the united kingdom) who can trace his or her mitochrondric DNA to either the anglo mitochrondric eves or the saxons mitochrondric eves. Basically, if your family lived in England before 1066, you are of anglo-saxon descent. This label is NOT extended to Normans. Simply being pre-plantagenet is not enough to be considered anglo-saxon.
Many people who believe they are white anglo-saxons are infact, not.
