St. Andrews Day.

It's a pity we don't celebrate it the way that Scot Expats do.

Thanks LaGooner.

Robert.......40 year old Malt..........I'm on my way.....Where do you live?

The adoption of St. Andrew as our Patron Saint and the Saltire as our National flag
makes interesting reading.

Wont go into detail here......it would take ages. Try a Google Search I'm sure you'll find something.

Have a great day tomorrow everyone.

Stephen, this one is for you.....

I've got a T-shirt with "John O'Groats" in big letters, in tartan.........
and a T-shirt with funny wee men on a haggis hunt.

It's too hot to wear the JO'G one, and the Haggis one is too small.

Maybe I'll put a tartan ribbon in my hair.

Yes, I was born in Scotland :-D

My daughter runs a facebook and twitter acct for her cousin who owns a wee Scottish themed Shop in Glasgow.
She adds a Scottish fact every Friday.
Today's Fact Friday:
Did you know St Andrew is also the patron saint of Russia?
