Wherever you go in Britain, there's one food you can always rely on - Indian.

The best dinner I ever had in two trips to Scotland was a slap-up curry in Inverness, of all places. Those alliances between Sikhs and Scottish highlanders were about more than watching each other's backs in the Khyber Pass.

And to the member who posted the photo of a kirpan - its a toy, really. More ceremonial than a weapon. A skean dhu looks bigger.
