    Mine is the end of a trad. scottish song that talks about a Campbell that kills a police in Embra, just defending himself of the discrimination of the lowlanders against the highlanders and also the irish inmigrants, that is,... the more "celtic" ones... it made me think about what I had listened about the Campbells,... their support to the english Crown,.... Glencoe,.... Culloden, the inspiration for the black watch tartan,.... etc,....

    Suddenly I noticed that even when they were told such a lot of "ugly things", they also considered themselves as highlanders, and even they suffered the abolition of kilts after the '45... I DEFINITELY NOTICED THAT i HAD TO OPEN MY MIND A LITLE WIDER. Nothing is black or white.... there are always different levels of grey.

    If someone can get the song, it's a version of Dick Vaughn, called "Erinn go Bragh".... and except maybe for P1M, I strongly recommand to look for the written lyrics :mrgreen:

    ¡Salud!
