You're not going to start cracking skulls with swords because the other lot are MacWhatevers and stole a Sinclair girl four hundred and fifty years ago in a land thousands of miles away.

And as for Brigadoon....that is exactly what's it like to me, what with all the clan crests, flags and banners etc.
It's over the top stuff. It's amusing, almost childish.

I mean what do you do ?
Tell each other that your cromach is bigger than his cromach?
Where's the sheep bo peep?
Do you all tell each other how much more Scottish you are than the other guy?
Harking back to days that no longer exist and in some cases probably didn't exist at all?

Maybe it's just a bit embarrassing to be told that others who see the whole thing as brigadoonery?
In some ways it almost turns the stomach to see it being done.
Wow, why don't you tell us how you really feel?
