I agree with you here about the narrow mindedness of some of our countrymen and how they have embarassed our nation with their bigoted views in recent months.
How Scotland travelled the journey form the period of the Enlightenment when we were the centre of forward thinking to the darkness of the shallow thinking of the last century and into this one is a mystery to me. What is about Scots that can be so charming but so backward at times yet from the point of view of the modern kilt we were the trendsetters and taught the world about alternative dress
