I am not anti-Scottish, I am in fact a Scottish 'Highlander' and entitled to see the image of my own Scots alleged 'nation' and its culture, in terms of musical stereotyping and marketing strategies. The Corries got saddled and marketed with a certain image, and I was just pointing that out, as that was connected to the question being discussed. OF ITS TIME being a relevant point as to why image wise, they seem a bit naff in the 21st Century. Musically, they recorded some lovely ballads, and rousing folk songs between the comedy drivel etc.
