Scottish and ProudAT THE BEGINNING OF TIME GOD WAS
DISCUSSING THE CREATION OF THE WORLD
WITH THE ANGEL GABRIEL. LEANING BACK
IN HIS GOLDEN THRONE, HE TOLD HIM OF
HIS PLANS FOR SCOTLAND.
"GABRIEL," GOD SAID, "I AM GOING TO GIVE
SCOTLAND TOWERING MOUNTAINS AND
MAGNIFICANT GLENS RESPLENDANT WITH
PURPLE HEATHER. RED DEER WILL ROAM THE
COUNTRYSIDE, GOLDEN EAGLES WILL CIRCLE IN
THE SKIES, SALMON WILL LEAP IN THE
CRYSTAL CLEAR RIVERS AND LOCHS, AND THE
SURROUNDING SEAS WILL TEEM WITH FISH.
AGRICULTURE WILL FLOURISH AND THERE WILL
BE A GLORIOUS COMING TOGETHER OF WATER
WITH BARLEY TO BE KNOWN AS WHISKY.
COAL, OIL AND GAS - ALL WILL BE THERE. THE
SCOTS WILL BE INTELLIGENT, INNOVATIVE,
INDUSTRIOUS AND....."
"WAIT A MINUTE!" INTERUPTED
GABRIEL. "ARE YOU NOT BEING JUST A WEE
BIT TOO GENEROUS TO THERE SCOTS?"
BUT THE ALMIGHTY REPLIED, "NOT
REALLY. I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU WHO THEIR
NEIGHBOURS ARE GOING TO BE!!"
