Scotland
I am about 99% Scottish and over the years, I have been reading about Scotland's cultural and historical. Scotland's largest party is the Scottish National Party, which campaigns for Scottish independence.

Jim,
I see from your blog that you've been reading about Scottish history and culture, you also mention the Scottish National Party in your post. A few months ago I started a blog The 'Sanitization' of Scottish History' (though I haven't made any posts recently) the URL of which is http://follonblogs.blogspot.com and have recently submitted comments to the British History 101 blog on a post titled Acts of Union 1707, the URL of which is http://bh101.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/acts-of-union-1707/. If you like I would be happy to suggest some suggested sources for reading on Scottish History (mainly political).
I meant to add in my comment that I've been a member and activist in the Scottish National Party for over 33 years.
Michael,
Thanks for posting your comments. I am interested in my Scottish heritage and I will be looking into your references.
Jim,
Thanks for including a link to my blog among the others on your list. I'm working on a post which I hope to make sometime in January next year on the subject of Scotland and Europe. I was just reading your post Diagnosed with MS when the word "normal" triggered a memory. Years ago I used to go to Lourdes to help out. At one time I remember being told that there was no point coming to help unless you got something out of being there that had an impact on your everyday life. I soon realised that for me my political activity was where it had an impact. The reason was that, especially during an election campaign, people who are limited by their disability seem to 'disappear' but when it comes to voting anyone in that situation has as much power as any 'able bodied' person. In my branch of the SNP we have a member who is confined to a wheelchair and has communication difficulties but despite that he comes to branch meetings and makes a contribution that is appreciated by every other member.
Have a good New Year.
Jim,
This is just to let you know that I've just posted the latest entry to my blog (The 'Sanitization' of Scottish History), it is titled 'Scotland in Europe'. A bit later than I would have liked but better late than never.
