    Living in Scotland does not make you Scottish.

    I spose it's how u define things.... either way lets not detract from the online abuse currently directed towards the Scots from.their southern neighbours ... particularly when I've seen so so so many times Scots have been accused of being anti English... do you feel it acceptable behaviour ?

    Mollycat, can I apologise on behalf of my birthplace city of Plymouth for elantan’s attitude to Scotland’s place in our Union. It takes a special kind of neck to move somewhere and then agitate to change the status quo against the wishes of more established inhabitants.
