Good story

[PiobBear]

I was piping a wedding yesterday, when a little old lady came up to me. She was a Polish Jew, who's family had escaped just ahead of the Nazi's and were resettled in Scotland. As a young girl she suddenly found herself in a strange land, speaking no English, knowing no one and without a penny to their names. With tears in her eyes she told how despite rationing, the Scottish people took her family in and fed and clothed them, without question, hesitation, or asking anything in return. She tells this story to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, with the admonition to remember and re-tell it to theirs after she's gone, that her family will always remember the Scottish people with profound gratitude.

A beautiful story.
There were a lot of Polish, german and Russian families here in Glasgow back then.
Glasgow has one of the highest Jewish populations in the U.K so a lot of people were sent here where it was felt they would be welcomed. And they were.
They were wonderful people and the ones who settled here have done Scotland proud.

That IS a good story, PiobBear. It's a reminder of the good that people can do, and how long it can last.
