I'm so proud to be Scottish still but it's only to do with traditions , the beauty of our country, the remarkable inventions, the history, the accent and the humour.
I'm sorry min but I'm going to have to ask you to explain yourself here.
Traditions... What? pipe bands and haggis.
Please don't say New Year
Beauty.....Geologically diverse enough and there's no doubt that there are many beautiful parts.
I've done a fair bit of hillwalking in my time, I understand the surge of pride you can get looking at the view from the top of Lochnagar etc.
However, I stopped reading the Sunday Post a long time ago, I now realise that Scotland is not the only country with hills.
When it comes to man made beauty then I'm afraid Scotland is way way down the list.
How many truly pretty towns do we have like Banchory compared to utter shiteholes like Denny?
Remarkable Inventions.......I won't argue too much here, Scotland has punched above it's weight in the past.
A lot of it is in the past though and, when looked into, most other European countries have their proud list of innovators too.
Scots have also played important roles in many high places around the world.
Scotland is not necessarily an insular country.
The History........ Money grabbing and back stabbing.
THE ACCENT???.......By the way, big man but.
A girl with a glaswegian accent is an abomination.
The humour.........Good but not any better than anywhere else. The English have a great sense of humour so I wouldn't put ours as any better than theres.
Modern shite American infuenced TV is destroying sense of humour everywhere.
As you say, everything else can fuck off.
