There are TWO Scotlands . One on the West which was mainly the Irish (or Scotti ,as the Romans called the Irish) , who converted the pagans of the country to Christianity ,spoke Gaelic and generally lived truly Christian lives as generosity and welcoming the stranger was deeply Embedded in the tradition .
In the East mainly were the Picts who in time became christian too,but were always much more materialistic ,business type ,cold in manner and unfortunately since mostly they did business with
others ,gave the bad reputation of meaness which some give to the Scots .
As for the pipes ,they wre always part of Highland culture ,as they are in Ireland ,but the kilt which was a rough and ready garment worn by the Highlanders ,was made 'fashionable ' by the French tailors and taken up by th e English upper classes who were never ever truly Celts in any way .
The culture of Scotland includes many great poets ,writers and scientists which are not known because the English prevent such literature and the truth of history to become known .The greatest culprit apart from the' Establishment' is the BBC who distort the truth .
The 'Celts' who have a culture (which is truly of the heart and therefore of God ) will last,is lasting , although they in the South tried to commit genocide on these upstarts who defied them and still do .
So if you are visiting , remember that in order the keep the peace in daily life, many stay quiet ,but cultural independence is what most want .
