This is a handy word, for the Brigadoon-style hyper-Scottishness that exists in many American views of the country, also perpetuated by the Scottish tourist industry,

Comments
hiya - i've been lurking, reading i like for a while, and am moved to comment as i currently work as a temp for the northern ireland tourist board and we got accused of 'paddywhackery' by a local politician a couple of weeks ago. ironically, it was a sinn fein politican who nags us consistently to promote trad irish crafts, music and the west belfast feile who made the accusation.
anyway, i love this site - my boyfriend directed me here as he reckoned it was right up my street, and he was spot on. keep writing!

Hi,
I am American and I don't know how I should think of the Scottish now...Your site is my only vision. Well, this and Roddy Frame and an old Gregory's Girl VHS that I don't think works any longer. I am at a loss.
Love your site.
Once Lurker,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne - the I like/Roddy Frame/Gregory's Girl vision you have is pretty accurate for many people in the central belt (between Glasgow and Edinburgh and around). And it's a nice one so stick with that.
