@scotsmaninusa You can take the Scot out of Scotland but you can't take Scotland out of the wee Scot nae can ye?

[bloobear1]

@Gimmer3 It's nice to see that people are proud of their Scots ancestry I am of course a Scotsman :-) We tend to take a lot of our culture for granted here. I was treated like a rock star when I went to America (VA). Everyone wanted to hear me talk :-)

[Gimmer3]

@bloobear1 , When you go to the American south a huge proportion of the population has Scottish ancestry. There are some really fantastic highland games down there because of it. Where I live there are allot of people with Scottish ancestry. I never get tired of listening to a Scot talk either!

[nacho1560]

Gimmer, your love of Scotland shines out so much, your love of Burns and the Border Collie thing, too. You must have Scottish ancestry, surely.

[Gimmer3]

@nacho1560 , Oh you are on to me. Yes my ancestors lived in Glasgow and were coal miners and weavers. I think of America as my Mother and Scotland as my Grandmother. I have been twice and Scotland is more beautiful even than I imagined it would be.

Such a great nation.

Although it was 250 years ago, its full of compassion for the poor with equal amount of contempt for the idle rich..

Shall brothers be!

Are you saying that your a descendent of Robert the Bruce?

[jsgehrke]

My 23d matrilineal great grandfather spent his life winning Scotland her independence from Edward of England. He died in 1329.

[TimeTravellersGirl]

Well done with this!

I first heard this setting for this Burns poem on a BBC Radio Nottingham folk programme called 'Folkways' (I think that was the name). Fabulous! BBC are idiots for cutting their local evening music programmes!!

@scotsmaninusa ..... I am also from Bonnie Scotland, Campbeltown Argyll, i've lived in Virginia Beach for the past 25 years, there are many lassies here from home. My wee lassie lives in Glendale Arizona. The Scots bond is stronger than any other I know.

[ScotsLass10]

I am a wee Scot and so proud of my homeland, though now I live in Virginia Beach across the Ocean... My heart will always be in Scotland! Happy Rabbie Burns night to all my fellow Scots where ever ye may be.
