Email sent. Thank you, Robertson for spearheading this. There will be vindication for our four bretheren.

This is Shocking but lets not turn this into a English V Scots I know many English people who have come to live here who love this country and are adopted Scots like any other nationality, I know a few English people who do a fantastic job for the Scots tourist industry. If it were up to me everyone involved in promoting Scotland would wear the Kilt as a matter of course. Scot or not.

Thanks for saying this.
One of my Fiance's closet friends is a lovely Englishman who loves Scotland to the core and does more to promote Scottish tradition than most Scots I know.

wow..... just ....wow.
Forget the whole English v Scots thing. This has nothing to do with that.
It has everything to do with a guy who works in a tourist bureau slamming tourists. Who does that? Extremely extremely unprofessional on his part.

The thing that gets me most isn't even the insult itself.....whatever, I've been called names before, no biggie...but the dig at Robertson, that was so uncalled for. Who on board here has promoted Scotland more than him? Always sharing pics of all the wonderful places, events and scenery. Welcoming his guests with a dram or two.
I dare say Robertson is doing a far better job welcoming tourists than Mr. "visitscotland" himself.

Would Hamish,dwg69, and starbukjus please post on this thread their reactions to this incident. It would be helpful to have a few more details.

First let me say the remarks was made to me and not to Hamish or starbukjus and they where as stated by P1m

I have yesterday and today phoned on numerous occasions to speak to Ms. Holland but she was not available

went on to say, “There is, in fact, one loud-mouthed American living in Dumfries, who owns a guest house, struts around the town in his kilt and even does his shopping in it!”

But is he not right?

Pity the poor schlep at the office as probably left school at the 6th form and is confronted on a daily basis by his .......

I must say, the biggest shocker of this thread was learning that P1M - a fine figure in his kilts, with his mickle command of Scots' dialect, and prodigious capacity for uisge beatha - hails from these shores.

Just goes to show there's hope for us all.

Best regards,
