    A secret history of the kilt - from an unusual source

    I don't know if it is the current Scottish elections but all of a sudden the English media are carrying Scottish stories - http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion...t-2265753.html - this one by a former British ambassador.

    Delightful, and with a nice smattering of history as well. Sharing this one on my Facebook page!

    I am appalled at the responses of these (expletive deleted) who spout their racist crap on that article. It is disgusting how they talk and act towards everyone that their country has crapped on. It makes me sad that I will never see a day where hatred and ignorant people are gone. Nor will my children's great great great great grand children. I enjoyed the article non the less. I am just sick of people who think they are so great when they are worse off than the people they hate.
