asked if i was irish

[JockInSkye]

Thank you, Todd and The Thing, for that correction. It was the Connaught Rangers.
Jock in Skye, my contention is not that Orangemen were not prominent in the British forces, but that other Irishmen also played their part until the Troubles in the time of the Black and Tans.
I have emphasised that the royals are culturally English. It is your constant harping on their Englishness that is obnoxious, since it implies that they have no place whatever in Scotland.
Regards,
Mike

I don't think the royal family have a place in the 21st century let alone in Scotland. But I won't enter into that discussion.
