To me it seems to be more about Alex Salmond's kiltwearing.
Anyway, imho, there is nothing wrong with talking about Scotland and it's independence, are we not doing the same when we speak of William Wallace and his fight for an independent Scotland?

Exactly, Graham. The thread was allowed to remain because everyone remained civil -- well done.

I originally posted this article based on its historical and sociological significance. It was not meant as a political post.

I do thank everyone for not taking it down the political path.
