Nation, nation, run and hide!!! There'll be blood on the floor before you can say "Rabbie"! Are we lumping the borderers, lowlanders and highlanders together? With the Islanders? And the Irish? Well, why not. After all, didn't the Old Firm want to join the English Football League a few years ago? Anything's possible, it seems. |

Ohhhh, Nation: Thou hast stepped in the proverbial you know what with that cruel epithet. Timorous beasties, you say? Fearful creatures? The Scots? Surely you don`t mean to hurl such an insult at my brave countrymen. Do you not know that Scotland was never conquered by Vikings, Romans or Normans? Can`t say the same for England.  |

Caitie ! I remember reading that the Roman soldiers practically rebelled. Wanting to know why the hell they had to go to such a cold and rugged place that we now call Scotland
Don't leave town , till you've seen the country. |

Scots are actually interlopers in Scotland, being Irish invaders who duffed up the indigenous Picts before coming to some sort of arrangement with them. The Romans were afraid of the Picts, not the Scots since there weren't any Scots during Roman times. Hadrian's wall was built to keep out the Picts, not the Scots!
Thus the modern Scots are half-castes as opposed to the English who are mongrels, being a mixture of Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans among others! This message has been edited. Last edited by: Expom, |

Don't forget the Lord of the Isles! He'd have objected to being called Irish - or Pictish - or Norman...tho' possibly he'd have been happy with 'Norseman'. What a savage country, eh!! |

It`s true. The Scots are of Irish origin.
