Got an email from "The Scotsman" inviting me to their website, there
to
play
favorite old Scottish games on line.
I haven't looked yet but I can only assume such all time stalwarts as
"Hide
The Haggis" and "Tax The Sporran" must be among their offerings.

Good luck!

Thank you, Highlander.
I'm playing "Assault The Englishmen" right now.
There is this shower of Pommies coming down toward the bottom of the
screen
and I must take a great baseball bat and swat them all before they hit
the
ground.
Otherwise they can confiscate my Sporran.

Sounds like The Scotsman has retreated into second childhood...


No, they are drawing in the younger generation thus assuring the paper's
survival yet another decade or two.
Shrewd, these Scots.

Rinn lann fead 'san adhar... - na cinn mar chloich a' ruith le gleann
feasgar fann fogharaidh...

The sword hissed in the air... - heads like rocks rolling down a slope
on a dim autumn evening.
