When you think of Scotland, what do you think of?

Even although I live here, if I think of the word "Scotland", I immediately think of a particular favourite mountain that I've climbed numerous times. And single malt whisky.

Maybe not in that order though...:thumb2

Highland Cathedral, now there's a bloody good tune and one that should have been Scotland's anthem (it doesn't need any words, it stands well enough without).

Even I have it on my iPod.

Written by two Germans, if memory serves. :augie Not that that should be a problem, given that the Royal family are German anyway. :D

And I hope it doesn't need words, cos the ones I've seen for it so far are God awful! All full of that 'purple heather/soaring eagles/far across the sea' shite. :oonyack

Are you sure it wasnae twa Iraqis that wrote it? :confused:
 
Errr, talk us through Morris dancing then?:eek:

Pah! Serious drinkers, Morris men.

Pre-Christian religion meets folklore, myth and dodgy goings-on. Most of the Morris men and Mummers I've met are guys who wouldn't be out of place on a good weekend pish-up on bikes. Sort of 'League of Gentlemen' meets Folk Music.
'Bikers Morris' were one of my favourite gangs...alas, I believe they no longer perform.

I've posted this before, but it's important that you Scotch chappies realise that the Wicker Man attitude isn't purely Scotch......

'The Witchmen'

Video quality is pants, but it gives you an idea of what they are about:

Indeed so and of course, Scotland used to have its own Morris side in the form of Lothian Morris Men and their offshoot Beltane Rapper.
