The Scots were barbarians

lol. That same "barbarian" ethos created this country.

In fact, William Wallace's last word was not "Freedom," as the film would have us believe.

Braveheart's last word was "Scotland!"

If that's "barbarian," may I have some more, please?

“barbarian,”

Only a “barbarian” could get away with wearing a kilt, except in the winter on cold metal chairs.

Not really. It created the banking community centered in Montreal and in New York.

So what if William Wallace’s last word was Scotland? He was still a barbarian. He was no more advanced than the Visigoths who sacked Rome. Or the Huns that ravaged Europe. Or the Celts. Or the Saxons. Or the Jutes.

You may feel allegiance to the Scots; you may even admire them (as I do). But the Scot possess no secrets of salvation. Only the Church of Christ does.

In Wallace's case, that would be Catholic barbarian, of course.
