    Scottish Fashion

    Canada has the Mounties, Beaver, Inuit ( Eskimo ) art, land of ice and snow, all speak French etc. and presents them all in their place. We also have a good fashion industry without getting our shorts in a knot and relying on the former. Scotland should have their own fashion industry separate from the cultural aspect without denigration of the later. Don't see why they can't maintain and develop both or is it a feeling of inferiority.

    I think his point was just that about stereotyping and lumping large and diverse cultures with simplistic terms. We all know [or at least I hope we do] that not all Canadian speak french, there are some ice free areas in Canada [at least for 3 days in July ], etc. etc.
