It is not necessarily that I like to hear the Scottish national Anthem, but it is the atmospshere as I see it on tv with the bagpipes and all the people in the stands singing.
What I mean with USA patriotic things is not playing the anthem. I actually like that and is similar with what they do in Canada (I think) prior to the hockey games. In Holland we don't have that culture.
But I don't really like all those soldiers marching arround, flag waving (apart from the sports related ones), speeches of how good is the USA and other in my view overdone expressions of patriotic feelings.
