Thread Name: Help: Gaelic Scotland, As others see us!
Subject: RE: Help: Gaelic Scotland, As others see us!
I am probably schitsophrenic (who cares about the spelling) in that I play the guitar and sing Irish ballads and folk music but my chosen sport is Lawn Bowls which is a very British sport. Through that sport I have visited bowling clubs in Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as several Welsh and English locations. (I will be visiting Glasgow next June for a week of Bowls). Music is my life but hospitality has an equal ranking. The hospitality and sharing of musical culture that I have experienced in Scotland leaves no doubt in my mind that the Scots are equal to the Irish in their love of music and tradition and their hospitality is second to none. I only skimmed through the previous entries. To those of you who feel that Scotland is lagging behind, don't worry, all the right things are alive and well and living throughout your brilliant country.
