IT IS set to be the biggest ever celebration of Scotland's history, culture and tradition. Clan members from dozens of countries have been urged to head to Edinburgh this summer for a festival celebrating the best of Scotland, "past and present".
But the thousands flocking to the capital for the world's biggest clan gathering this summer have today been told they risk arrest and up to two years in jail – for brandishing weapons.

“Yet if he should give up what he has begun, and agree to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of England or the English, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own rights and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom — for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself”
Arbroath, 1392.

Be ye kilted?
I have several, traditional and neo kilt. This was the past St Patrick's Day and even though only around 5pm I was starting on the downhill, LOL! After all I had to be to work in a few hours.
IIRC I was wearing an AmeriKilt. It's great for pubbing, don't have to worry about spills.

I see that the traditional anti-knife campaigner took over the Scotsman comment section. With a handle like “fifi la bon bon” ...... well, I’m not going to comment, except that it seems indignant whenever anyone makes fun of the absurdity.
