	Stand up for Scotland and Scottish culture
		Children in Scotland are studying the cultures of other countries as mandatory subjects, but the study of their own culture is optional and leaves many Scots children foreigners in their own land.
		Culture is significant, not only for its specialist content and knowledge, but also because many cultural activities enhance other important skills such as creative thinking and interpersonal abilities like team working and communication.
		However, whilst this is fantastic at helping to combat racism, excellent at promoting cultural understanding of recent immigrants and a great step forward to a broad and diverse society, but are ye no scunnered to see no mention of the Celtic festivals of Beltane or Hallowe'en in their list of cultural festivals in Scotland?.

		Scotland in 1997 is emphatically not the same place as it was in 1746 or in 1886.
