God was talking to the arch angel Gabriel he said "Gabriel I'm going to create a beautiful land with mountains and forests full of wild game,the seas around it will be teeming with fish of all kinds.I'm going to fill it with beautiful rivers and lochs filled fish.In short I'm going to create a wonder of nature and after that I'm going to populate it with a fine,strong,handsome people who are intelligent,industrious,inventive,courageous,hardy,poetic and musical in short I'm going to give them all the best of human virtues and this people will be known as the Scots and their land will be called Scotland."

Gabriel said"Hold on God old man don't you think that's a bit unfair to all the other less fortunate humans" God replied"Ah! you haven't seen who I'm giving them for neighbours"
