Been hearing and seeing reports these past few days about a campaign which will declare Scotland to be "the best small country in the world". Have you ever heard the like? They will put up posters at airports and train stations and convey this empty headed bollocks to visitors to our land. The natural reaction to such a claim would rightly be "my arse". As one who does his bit for local tourism, I actually find such a claim offensive. Whether it is or isn't is irrelevant and such activity is another of these lame duck responsibilities that our Scottish District Cooncil (Parliament) thrives on. So, prospective visitors - if you visit Kiltland, forgive such arrogance. It's not a competition and if you have pride in your place of origin then so be it. I personally don't and that's not likely to change when "Wee Jack" pulls a stunt like this. Sure, we have our strengths and those generally lie in a quiet desire to just get on with attempting to make it through the day.
So the lesson this Sunday is "Forgive them for they know not what they do, lest someone gives these pillocks a real job".

this is exactly the kind of pish that Scotland does not need. why does being Scottish need to be defined as being better than someone else ? it's grand to have pride in where you're from, as long as that is based on something good about where you're from as opposed to being based on looking down on the Welsh or the English or whoever (or in the case of any other small country that has its pride, looking down on the Scots).

I've always wanted to try Haggis and blood pudding. Maybe if the tour bus stops by your house...
Absolutely, there's always a haggis welcome waiting here...
Black pudding is available if ordered in advance.
