There's a lot to be said for getting "Whae's Like Us?", in tartan, inked in beneath one's kilt-line, I suppose. Or similar to do with Celtic, Hearts, Rangers, the battle of Bannockburn, the Saltire, 'Flower Of Scotland' etc. They're traditional tribal markings, in a way.
As a Scot, born and bred (and there is an argument which has Scotland as the most extensively colonised part of the English empire - hundreds of years later, the invaders are still there, in a way that just isn't true, or at least not quite so much these days, of say, Zimbabwe) I wonder why anyone would feel the need to look to other cultures for a sense of validation? In terms of what they had written on their arse?
Man, Scotland is a disgrace, but it's our disgrace, you know? In some vague sense that I can't really articulte, except perhaps in the form of more questions (and maybe, just maybe, there have been too many questions already?) aren't you denying your heritage at your peril. |
