I don't normally jump onto these types of threads as they get very partisan, highly politicised and ultimately end up in arguments, but Velvet I had to throw a few of my observations into the pot being as you cited Morris Dancing (something from my neck of the woods) as being beaten.

 

So, where do we start.

 

Tartan - A cloth which originated in central Europe from around 400 BC.

 

Whisky - IMO a vile tasting liquid of which I have never found one I could drink, except an Irish one, which would now rank as the best.

 

Golf - A good walk spoilt, really who likes golf? There are better courses in Europe purely on the weather factor.

 

Nessie - Hey, come on. A fictitious character that does not exist. To date, no evidence exists.

 

Shortbread - Buttery, fattening, bland stodge. I used to get a box every Christmas (which I gave away) until I returned it one year to the sender saying "what don't you understand about me hating shortbread?" I had mentioned it on several occasions before.

 

John Martyn - I would have gone with Simple Minds cos they are bloody brilliant. At a push Ultravox because of Midge Ure, especially as their last album was called Brilliant.

 

 

You forgot to add Midges to your list!

Nothing holds a candle to this 100 proof..

St Andrews. Home of the niblick.

 

Nessie - Hey, come on. A fictitious character that does not exist. To date, no evidence exists. 

 

That's not what they say in Drumnadrochit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll throw in Sally Magnusson and The Highland Fling.

Now.. I can agree about Whisky ... and Golf... but NESSIE????  How can you slate Nessie???   Oh and shortbread... although it's better as millionaire's shortbread.

 

another vote here for Salmond is a wee ba' heid btw

 

 

Oh we are Kaffy, I was just having a bout of being pedantic, funny (I thought) and injecting a smidgin of fact. Oh and I could not let Velvet get away with having a pop at Morris Dancing 

 

Anyway, I can't afford to alienate any of my friends north of the border as I want to tour Scotland for a few months following my retirement (which is a good few years off - so I have time to save for my Winnebago).
