Thanks, that's good to know, Jimmy.

For a while now, I have been wondering about the subject of influence that the diaspora have had back on Scotland. Although, he gives a little bit of a qualifier about using the word "diaspora" in his preface; some historians and pureists might object... But I think it's ok.
