Britain is Scottish: a truth from history that’s still true today

Britain is Scottish: a truth from history that’s still true today

Open a history book, any one really, and there it is: the way we are now. The past may be different on the surface – the clothes, the food, the way of life, the ways of death – but underneath it all, the fundamentals of the past are much the same as the fundamentals of the present, by which I mean the nature of human beings: what we need, what we think, and, most troubling of all, what we’re sometimes capable of doing to each other.
