I enjoyed visiting your space, I found it very interesting. Your comments highlighted some very valid points. In this politically correct society of ours it seems we as a people are losing sight of the basics. If all this correctness was put aside and we all were to learn to RESPECT each others DIFFERENCES, we wouldn’t need to be tip-toeing around each other to be seen as doing/saying the right thing. If we all originated from one place why is it so hard for us to work together and move forward, rather than against each other? Bless!

As for the Scots, we all were French up until 1903.

Read on McDuff...

The Auld Alliance was an important alliance between Scotland, France, and Norway which had its origins in the Orkneyinga saga and the colonisation of Normandy. The alliance is thought to reach as far back as 1165, and William I of Scotland; although the first documentary evidence dates from the treaty signed by John Balliol and Philip IV of France, in 1295. It was the first recorded treaty for mutual self-defence between European nations. And played a varying but sometimes large role in Franco-Scottish (and English) affairs, until 1746. In 1512 under a treaty extending the Auld Alliance, all nationals of Scotland and France also became nationals of each other's countries, a status not repaled in France until 1903 and which may never have been repealed in Scotland.

Yes, it's cut and paste from here.

I was trying to make a serious point about tolerance.

It doesn't take much to turn a roomful of people who all say 'We hate the......' into a roomful of people all chanting, 'We hate the... '

And in fact, what's he difference...?
