Shows how much I know, I thought it was ancient and modern :oops:

It's actually a combination of all four:

Ancient and Modern reflects the pattern through history, and Hunting and Dress reflects day(practical) and night(formal) or some such. So you can have a Modern Hunting for example, which mine is.

After the 45 rebellion, kilt wearing was banned, although, in reality, it was plaids that were worn, and then, only in the Highlands.

It was Charles I that was the cause of the Jacobite uprising, but he ermm, later lost his head! 171 years after Charles was in Scotland, George IV came to Edinburgh, (in 1822), and wore the kilt. Thereafter, it was de riguer to wear the kilt.

Anyway, Hunting green doesn't show the beer spills like the Dress red!

I had a dream last night which involved Gordon Strachan giving me a lift to the airport in a Fiat 127.
Odd.

Dave Mac,
Wales is a nation just as much as Scotland. We have our own parliament too. Although to be quite accurate, I believe Wales is a principality.

Ian - very funny, ha ha - I know how to pull on a rope and get a flag up, I used to sail once.

I just wondered if the flag appeared because Scotland was in the title of the thread, and whether the same would happen if I started a thread with Wales in it.

Tino- we do have ski slopes in Wales, they're unfortunately just dry slopes though!

And before I forget to mention it, I am actually 1/4 Scottish, because my grandmother came from Glasgow, and I'm not Welsh at all, I just live here.

Ally,

This thread is in the 'Scotland' section of the forum.

Wales don't have a section, get over it ;)

(I live in Glasgow!)

Ally, re-read the bottom line of my posting on Wales! Small font, cos I was a bit scared of you! :shock:

But I have skiied in Wales, many, many years ago, carrying uphill. Hardly counts as a ski industry though!

Wales dont have a section, same as England, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Malta, Tunisia, and Luxembourg seeing as none of them are renowned skiing nations.
However, Wales is as much a natiop as Scotland, absolutely correct.

My wife is Scottish by the way. But we all have a cross to bear.

Dave Mac,
You did indeed say Wales is a principality. As I said in one of the other threads, my eyesight isn't so good these days, because of my age, and you did type it pretty small (I can't see why you should be afraid of me, I'm not a nasty sort of person).

Pablo,
Oh, so I can't get the WELSH FLAG up whatever I do? How sad.

Ally

No but you can have this leek,
