Anonymous said... I was born in Scotland, i have always lived in Scotland and my both parents are the exact same. So that makes me Scottish. I am proud of my Scottish heritage but of course iam still British. But i will always be a Scotsman before i am British. Iam still proud to be British but when you usually say to a foreigner you are from britain they allways assume u are from England which I hate. I am not english i will never be and i never want to be. (Wednesday, March 21, 2007)

is that the only people in the UK who

call themselves British are those that live in Northern Ireland. We don't call ourselves "Northern Irish" but would say "I'm British, I come from Northern Ireland" or something along those lines. Of course, that's apart from those in Northern Ireland who would call themselves Irish. They definitely don't say they're British.

That's newly sprung in June.

Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi the sun!
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o life shall run.
