On Burns' Nicht & Robert Bruce's March to Bannockburn

Wikipedia handily translates into English and Gaelic.

Most Scots, and I'm sure a fair good few non-Scots, know about this auld sang, but for those that don't: "Robert Bruce's March to Bannockburn," known more commonly as "Scots Wha Hae," was written by Scotland's most celebrated poet Robert Burns in 1793. Though the speech itself is conjectural, it was written to the tune of "Hey Tuttie Tati," a traditional Scottish tune of ancient lineage, which was widely believed to have been played by the Scottish troops at Bannockburn.

Better Together When Standing Apart; Or, Why I'm Voting Yes

In the Wednesday 25th September issue of the Greenock Telegraph, Council leader Stephen McCabe wrote a piece explaining his reasons for supporting the union. It is presented without a counterpoint, though readers are invited to send in their opinions to the paper via mail.

I thought instead of merely sending it in to the Tele where the people of Inverclyde may or may not read it depending on the will of the editorial staff, I felt it would be productive to post my response online, as well as explaining in more detail exactly why I'm voting Yes next year. Wings Over Scotland has been publishing a fascinating series of insights from a wide range of Yes votes, and I thought I might as well join that chorus.
