I have put a new Scottish section into the site, including the
Legend of Gathelus, Scota and the Stone of Destiny (how the Scots got their
name and the Stone, and how they travelled from Greece to Egypt, Spain and
Ireland and finally to Scotland); the Declaration of Arbroath, 1320,
(the Statement of Scots Nationhood); the story of how the Thistle became
the emblem of Scotland and on a lighter note "Wha's like us?", a review of the
Scots' contributions to the world! This latter includes a link to the "Old
Pulteney" distillery, whose manager is Fred Sinclair. What more
encouragement do we need to make this the official Sinclair dram?
Yours aye
Iain Laird
