[QUOTE=Boreas;31110]Och, but ye are, laddie! Though why yer defending that muckle o' Sassenach gits I dinna ken!

Ok I surrender. As an Englishman living in Scotland I know when to keep my head down. Incidentally, my wife's Scottish and her father told me that originally, Sassenach was a term of abuse used by the Highland Scots against the Lowland Scots.

The English were recognized as 'the enemy', but in siding with them the Lowlanders were seen as traitors.
