ORIGINAL: candystripper Being Scottish, I have always envyed the Irish...it's tough to get too excited about inventing plaid. That's an interesting take on it, considering the long list of Scottish inventions that have been taken on board the world over; it utterly dwarfs Irish achievements. Ahhhhhh.........so now it boils down to comparing who's better a Scotsman or and Irishman? Bloody interesting. Not really. As an Englishman, I'm utterly indifferent to those two wayward tribes. In actual fact, I'm aware of their existence purely because half of them live in my country. I'm merely stating a fact that Scotland has punched well above its weight in the last 350 years. Feel free to google a list of Scottish achievements - for a nation of 5 million people, you'd be amazed.
