Scotland’s Pride; Gastronomic Delights!

[Jimmy]

Jimmy, I applaud what the Scottish government are trying to do, and like most decent minded people (regardless of their faith or lack thereof) am appalled by religious sectarianism in Scotland or elsewhere.

I don't know about the St. Ninian's tartan, but I doubt that any bona fide symbol of Scotland (whether Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, or other religion/denomination) should be cause for offence, especially in a tartan or kilted form.

As to the article in the link to the Sun regarding the scarf commemorating the visit of Pope Benedict XVI, it seems that an inexperienced Polis was a bit over zealous.

I am a wee bit concerned that this topic can stay within the rules of XMTS though.

just noticed Peter you are originally from Uddingston, I'm originally from Bellshill, Old Boyd Tunnock is still going strong, caramel wafers and teacakes are brilliant, he still drives his father's Rolls Royce, reg AT1

Should rename this thread Scotland's Pride after extolling the virtues of Tunnocks caramel wafers and teacakes.

Quite right Jimmy! In all seriousness and without being too chauvinistic, I do recognise our country's problems, warts and all. However, we have more that unites us than divides us, and more reasons to feel honest pride than shame.

I've posted this elsewhere on the forum, but what about this site:-

There's some good stuff on there.

You can't beat Maw Broon's cooking, look at the size of Hen and the build of Daphne
