Hello from here. The preceeding discussions about the political climate in
Scotland are quite interesting for this removed Scot. It is not unlike the
problems that are here in the Great White North. With the cultural and
indeed social differences between English and French speaking Canada, a
divided government (if not country) is almost inevitable.
Living in Canada, and my heart in Scotland, it is hard sometimes to
understand what is going on over there unless I can get a Scottish
newspaper.
While I'm here...anyone from Kircudbright?
