  • "When Burns wrote A Man’s A Man, he was doing more than creating a song. He was locating and preserving the DNA of Scottishness – a belief in equality beyond any limitation of class, status or wealth. It was appropriate that it was sung at the opening of our parliament.The essential Scottishness, of course, is not a matter of purity of blood. It is an amalgam of all people who have come to live here. European, Asian, South American, whatever. Scottishness is not a pedigree lineage, it’s a mongrel tradition.".

Oops - I thought I had replied to this already. The quote starts at 'When' and ends at 'tradition'. Ben MacDui (Talk) 09:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
