its really fairly simple... the specifics of a region, say the language, behavior and culture of the Scottish, is built on countless years of interaction both with each other and with externals. Unless the story is set on Tellus and does not twist many key traits, the characters in a world cannot have the same background for behavior. The traits that pop up most often are the ones that the authors are most familiar with. Or the ones that are easy to learn about.
The finer nuances would require significant study to learn of, like the difference between western highlands Scottish and eastern highlands Scottish (or something like that). To the inexperienced, it is all Scottish, but to the more learned, it is clearly not the same.
