For sure for sure, the Macdonalds and the Campbells still feuding but only in the cheek kisskiss. 
Yes, Nathan, there are some who do but their memories are of more recent times. It is sixty years since the first television in the Highlands and Elizabeth became queen.

Only favoured areas of Aberdeen had TV at Coronation time (1953) - the third city of Scotland and now the oil capital of Europe. Highland hills tend to get in the way of mobile phone signals to this day!

Frank, I'm not THAT old and even I can remember going out as a family to watch some big event on the tele which was situated in a big room on top of the televison shop in town. There was tele, but not yet at home. However we did watch the moon landings on this new fangled device (in the middle of the night) at home albeit on a black and white set. We didn't have colour TV at home when I left to join up in 1971!
