Are the Scots some of the Bravest people on Earth?

Question

Who else would march into German machine guns wearing kilts and blowing bagpipes, or run up to a flaming loony bomber and give them the Glasgow Kiss?

I said they are SOME of the bravest. Irish and Welsh are brave too. This is reference current events thanks

Answer 1

That's why the English kings put the Scots in his army after they were finally defeated because they were so crazily brave. The Germans called them the ladies from hell on account of their kilts!

Answer 2

skydog70, think you need to do a little more research into something called facts about being scottish. here is a question for you, where did the tribe the "Scotti" come from ?? who was actually in the area called scotland today BEFORE the Scotti arrived? Explain how you come with the pathetic comment London was a scottish city, considering it was founded by the Romans, and did not even EXIST when the original BRITONS inhabitted the area. How about you do a little reality check and discover that todays scots are in fact a mix of Picts, Vikings, Britons, Scotti (Celts), Normans, Anglo-Saxons.

As for the Question who else would march into the face of
German machine guns showing bravery, well how about the LONDON IRISH RIFLES for a start, they kicked out a football and went straight towards them, the 1st July 1916, in fact who else was as brave as the scots, well how about the Irish, the Welsh, the English, its not a copyright for scots being brave.

Check out what the Irish did on 1st July 1916

http://www.fylde.demon.co.uk/blackadder.htm
The 9th., 10th. and 11th. Battalions fought with the 36th. (Ulster) Division on the first day of The Battle of the Somme on 1st. July 1916. Their task was to capture the third line trenches across the River Ancre. An artillery bombardment failed to destroy the German defences, and the Allied forces sustained heavy losses in their attack. Only The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the Southern Irishmen of The Royal Irish Rifles reached and held their objectives on that fateful first day in July, and were then obliged to withdraw due to lack of support (caused by the very heavy losses of other units). This joint action by the Inniskilling men from Ulster and men from the 3 Provinces of Ireland which were later to become The Irish Republic, was remarkable in that their political and religious differences were set aside as the two regiments fought alongside each other against the enemy forces of The Central Powers in the cause of freedom in Europe. They saw at first hand and acknowledged the heroic acts of men from all over the island of Ireland, fighting as comrades in a common cause.

The 7th. and 8th. Battalions of The Inniskilling Fusiliers took part in the latter stages of The Battle of the Somme, when they attacked and captured the heavily defended vilages of Guillemont and Ginchy in September 1916.

And I have full respect for my scottish friends who I know from Army days, fine soldiers the most of them, but NOT unique, Irish, English and Welsh lads are just as good.

Answer 3

There certainly is an extraordinary pool of genes up there. It has seemed for yonks that wherever there was a problem anywhere on the planet building anything, trying to bridge anything, sink something into the depths - there was a Scot in the middle of it, solving it.

Answer 4

As a Scot I can say that we are a proud nation and we love our country thats why we have "Scotland the Brave" as our anthem. You don't mess with the Glaswegians they abviously never thought about that. Those people who were at the airport on Saturday were brave but true Scots.

Answer 5

They didnt give the bomber a 'glasgow kiss', for that, my friend is a term for a 'head-but'

Answer 6

Sure, the English are just temporary guests on the isle of Britain compared to The Scots who are actually the aboriginal inhabitants. I will never rest until all of them are driven off, and London once again is a Scottish city.

Answer 7

Yes they are some of the bravest, stupidest, drunkendist
sloberingish, howellingishist, passingoutingishist people on
earth.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
