Tartan Week


So, it's Tartan Week.

The concept seems to be simple enough - an event (or series of events) in New York to promote Scotland and Scottishness. But it does seem to lack focus? Do we really need a week of events? And what exactly is Scottish about a 10k run in Central Park - in fact I think you'd be hard pushed to find anything less Scottish.

Mind you the Scottish play confusingly called Geordie doesn't help either.

Right, I'll be adding that to my DVD collection as soon as I can find a copy down my local Oxfam.

and Quelle Surpise!

Sean "I'd rather be anywhere but Scotland" Connery has pitched up in New York.

If you read the press you'll notice that not only did this prick turn up to the "Licensed to Kilt" event (I'm wetting masel!) but he also managed to get a clip from his latest film - Sir Billi the Vet - shown.

Such fucking selfless devotion to Scotlands cause!
