Braveheart..... Mmmmm.....,
Beloved by Scottish Nationalists ( bit of an oxymoron that!),
Adored by American tourists,who flocked in their thousands to see the spectacular scenery,the rolling glens,the plunging valleys,the impossibly beautiful lakes,the rugged untamed countryside...
Filmed in Ireland.
Slan,
D.
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

*A fool and his money are soon parted; but around here, they usually meet again soon enough.
*Every cloud has a silver lining; no wonder we have a drought.

Now let us sort this little matter out.
Living south of the border, I come into contact with Scottish people every day. A fine crew of whom I would not hear a word said against.They tend to be very big on the FREEEEEEDOMMM bit,and always ready to break into a rousing chorus of "Flower of Scotland".
However,should any poor Irishman,or Welshman for that matter,say anything less than respectful about the Queen the aforesaidmentioned Scottish people are the first to spring to her defence. I have never yet met a Scot who was less than adoring of the British monarchy.
To me,this does not sound like nationalism.What ,apart from giving Sean Connery a tax deductable place to off load his charity money,does the SNP do?
Amar,you are Scottish or British.One or the other,
You cannot have your haggis and eat it.
Hence,oxymoron.
