![]() Nowadays, traditional sheep-shagging jokes are mostly directed at the inhabitants of Wales, one of the few ethnic minorities at whom it's apparently still OK to hurl gratuitous insults. ![]() ![]() Our Royal family, incidentally, only don kilts at Yuletide, but I'm told that many Scotsmen wear them all year round - so the sheep won't hear the zip. Or the glorious tradition of Burns Night (known in England as Guy Fawkes Night), where participants proudly wear their traditional Scottish kilts, invented by the English factory owner Thomas Rawlinson. Or those tins of traditional Scottish shortbread, mostly baked at a factory in Deptford. Just think of those traditional Scottish songs that Andy Stewart used to sing on The White Heather Club, all written by Cockneys in Soho's Tin Pan Alley in the 1950s. As I was saying recently to my Scottish friends (the fictional gay double act, Ben Doon and Phil McCaverty), tradition is a wonderful thing.
