.....driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indain curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV!!.

‘At the beginning of time, God was discussing the creation of the world with the Angel Gabriel. Leaning back in His golden throne, He told him of His plans for Scotland.
“Gabriel,” said God “I am going to give Scotland towering mountains and magnificent glens resplendent with purple heather. Red deer will roam the countryside, golden eagles will circle in the skies, salmon will leap in the crystal clear rivers and lochs, and the surrounding areas will teem with fish. Agriculture will flourish and there will be a glorious coming together of water with barley to be known as whisky. Coal, oil and gas – all will be there. The Scots will be intelligent, innovative, industrious and …”
“Wait a minute!” interrupted Gabriel. “Are you not being just a wee bit too generous to these Scots?”
But the Almighty replied, “Not really. I haven’t told you who their neighbours are going to be!”’

Yes, being Scottish is about being naturally open and cosmopolitan. It is easy to be welcoming to others when you have the confidence that comes from being part of one of the most wonderful nations on earth.

...outsmarting the English in little ways, such as having your own Parliament in Edinburgh, plus sending MPs to Westminster, while the English have no purely "English" parliament of their own. Oh, and it's about damned fine whiskey, too!!
Later: how on Earth did _that_ sentiment win me a thumbs-down already? Have ye no got a sense of humour, ye wee gobshite?

lol! What did the Scots bring to the world's table? Kilts, scones and log throwing - that's about it when you think about it. It's a sad legacy...
