Not only is the scholarly information presented in a clear and moving way, the videos get right to the heart of the nationalistic sense of pride so prevalent in Scots world-wide. What a great sense of place this post gives. Thoroughly enjobable and I don't know about everyone else, but I teared up!Morgannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361470830000423798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522363391639455008.post-21722006183544743922010-09-10T13:28:01.786-07:002010-09-10T13:28:01.786-07:00Paisley

I don't have a flag pole but if I did it would be the Saltire and the Irish flag for sure and probably the Welsh Dragon as well. I just love how the Scots keep etching away at their right to their own sovereignty. I would be interesting to see if they ever get their own self rule beyond their Parliament but I would hate to see a return to the Stewarts, they were bad for Scotland the lot of them minus James IV.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983608069357021786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522363391639455008.post-26353826453768348322010-09-10T12:39:16.222-07:002010-09-10T12:39:16.222-07:00I love the Scottish history and this flag is crisp...I love the Scottish history and this flag is crisp with its colors.

I know the first time I got off the plane in Glasgow and we had to walk down the steps and across the tarmack to the building I just stood on the top and breathed in the Scottish air for the first time. Well it was like coming home. My family kids me about being the reincarnated soul of my great great grandmother who came from Scotland in 1850. And you will even try the haggis, really is just like hash if you like hash, best in the morning with eggs.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983608069357021786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522363391639455008.post-6368384634303089082010-09-10T11:19:32.055-07:002010-09-10T11:19:32.055-07:00Thanks Nancy.

Now, I need to check out many of the links included and dream of the Highlands. One day, one of these days, I'll visit the land of my greatest grandfathers and grandmothers on the MacGregor side. I just have to see it, smell it, touch it, hear it, and taste it.
