probably this is not at all relevant but .....though i was brought up in glasgow and have since lived in inverurie and stirling and aberdeen i now live in cumbria and have done for the last 11 years. however, on the day of the scottish independence referendum we went up to glasgow - hoping for a great party. despite the late on rumours in the west end of a yes victory and the fact that we owe alisdair gray a pint (i later found that everyone in glasgow owed him a pint) - the victory was not to be. anyway - back to the point - the following morning i was walking round the botanic gardens listening to bert jansch in the drizzle. though sad, it was a perfect and lovely scottish moment that i won't ever forget.
