the Sinclairs were very much part of the "Sassenach" scene. We have
always had a European dimension
which transcended national boundaries. Today, that dimension is
global. With our history, it behoves us
to be catholic rather than parochial in our views. Whilst we should be
proud of our Scottish heritage, we
should be equally proud of our contribution to European culture and to
the development of the World at large.
The evidence is before our eyes.
