Anniversary of Culloden

[neloon]

History seems more important to Canadians than what you describe in Scotland where you have so much of it to love and to find fascinating.
Maybe that's why we, with so little history comparatively, look with such strong interest to the history of the nations that were our progenitors.

Bill,
In Scotland, in ordinary discourse, history can rapidly become politics and so tends to be avoided. Thus, Scottish history cannot be taught in schools in any serious way and most people know little about it.
