    First Foot is funny. I don't always agree with their take, but they intend most of the "articles" as tongue-in-cheek. It IS one of my Scottish bookmarks and a good for so many of the USians scottish-hagiographical takes on Scottish history and culture.

    For me it's not just Scotland's National Day but also a chance to wallow in nostalgia for my University too!

    I read Theology at St Andrews 1972-76!
