 Rediff On The NeT: Scotland the brave
Scotland scraped into the World Cup by finishing third in the ICC Trophy - they beat Ireland in the play-off in Kuala Lumpur - and are slightly apprehensive at how they'll fare against the big boys.
Unfortunately, outdoors in Scotland in March and April is usually cold and wet (and there was snow on the nearby hills), hence the trip to the Gulf.
The brave band of estate agents, teachers and coaches are certainly keen and raring to go - but it does look as if the Test nations will be queuing up to hammer the Scots.

 Essays: Scotland the Brave
Easing away from a reputation for stodge and grease, Scotland has turned to her embarrassingly plentiful larder to reintroduce, reclaim, and reinvent Scottish cuisine as a modern competitor alongside the global flavours of imported dining.
Scotland is also discovering that it can revisit its own culinary past to better fit in with current needs.
On my recent trip to Scotland, I saw an awful lot of very fat people in the first few days of my visit, but it was subsequently revealed that they were almost exclusively North Americans who had traveled to Glasgow for the same convention that I was attending.

 Scotland brave?|29Oct05|Socialist Worker
So when the radicalism of Scotland is compared to other similar areas, in terms of their population sizes, industrial structures, workforce composition and political heritages, we get a much better sense of where Scotland stands.
The key explanation for prevalence of this radicalised conception of Scottishness lies in the way in which opposition to the Tories was organised into a broad cross party and cross class coalition by the labour movement between 1979 and 1997.
Now, with Labour in government in Scotland and Britain, it will be interesting to see if this sense of Scottishness fades away or continues to express opposition to values of neo-liberalism, the free market and individualism of New Labour.

 Scotland The Brave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Scotland the Brave is a good example of a song locked into Scotland's mythical, glorious Highland past.
Of its kind it is an excellent and stirring piece, and often sung as the concert-hall national anthem.
It is unlikely that the composer, brought up in Glasgow, ever intended that this song should be taken seriously, but it has been enthusiastically adopted by concert-hall nationalists.

 GO BRITANNIA! Scotland: A Brief History
Presented by Peter N. Williams, Ph.D. On Thursday, December 18, 1997, Scottish Secretary Donald Dewar launched one of the most far-reaching changes to the British constitution by presenting a Bill to implement Scotland's first parliament in 300 years.
Thus, a powerful body of Scottish representatives would get together in a Parliament of their own for the first time since the Union with England and the abolition of the Scottish Parliament in 1707.
It is an Irish song that contains the words "A Nation Once Again," but the Scots with their own "Scotland the Brave" can now hold their heads high with the re-establishment of control over their own affairs and begrudging English acceptance of their northern neighbors as a nation.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Blunkett's plan for ID cards faces Celtic dilemma
The Scottish executive made clear that while Scots will be issued with identity cards, nobody will be denied access to public services such as health and education if they do not have one, unlike in England.
Scotland's first minister, Jack McConnell, said he told Mr Blunkett he was "opposed to the use of compulsory identity cards for services that come under devolved responsibilities in Scotland".
Mr Blunkett said on Tuesday that a decision on access to public services would be made in England once the ID card scheme was up and running.
