John Nolan Scotland is not England (33) RE: Scotland is not England 17 Aug 99


One would think that the Celtic Islands might confusingly refer to those regions where the various forms of p and q Gaelic are spoken, if only occasionally, as part of an unbroken tradition. In Scotland's case, that would rule out east, central and southern Scotland, where Lallans, in its various dialects, has held sway among the country people for years. On the other hand, Celtic Islands may refer to small pockets of Parkhead supporters living precariously near Ibrox, or in Bridgton. As for labels, Melodeon, surely they should be all-embracing (British) or multiple (Scottish, English, Welsh, Irish). And vive la difference, I say!
