We were beaten up in Great Yarmouth and my mate had a bottle in his face just because we had Scottish accents! Unfortunately that happens all over the place. Don't see what that had got to do with this thread though. Simply knowing and recognising where a song derives from is not chauvinism!

And as to "500 Miles" the facts are that it is a Scottish song. Written, recorded and performed by Scots. Why would it have to be specifically Scottish themed to be a Scottish song? Desperado and Lying Eyes by the Eagles aren't particularly American themed. Other nationalities can relate to them - but they are still American songs. I honestly can't see why some people seem to have an issue with recognising where songs originate!
