Hah! Typical English attitude! Taking pride in the things that they havnt achieved. Lets take Chris Hoy for example, he won however many gold medals in the Olympics, and he's regarder as "British", but as soon as an Englishman wins a medal, hes English and England is the greatest nation on Earth!

Correct, however to state that the play is about British culture is a generalisation, as it clearly focuses on Scot's, ignoring the other areas of Britain (England, N.Ireland and Wales). It's a poor generalisation as, to a British person, there's a huge gulf in our cultures.

the blackwatch is a british army regiment, just like pwrr are a british army regiment, theres no such thing as the scottish or english army. So stop crying

@Nickmanq yea scots in the scottish army.... oh wait

[sprPee]

@Nickmanq Scottish culture is part of british culture, no "poor generalisation" there

@Nickmanq Alright, I understand where you're coming from now.

@grobo11

They are both. But the focus of the play is the fact that they are Scots.

Thats why there is such empthasis on Scottish culture. To call their culture British, is a generalisation, and a poor one at that.

[grobo11]

@Nickmanq But they are Scottish and British. Their ethnicity is Scottish and their nationality is British just like the Welsh have Welsh as their ethnicity and British as their nationality and the English have English as their ethnicity and British as their nationality.
