As a Scot who has lived in England (career reasons) for nearly 30 years, I'm a classic exile: like an alien looking for his home planet. On the one hand I'm extremely proud of my traditions and upbringing and get pissed off at the English cliches of the "penny pinching, dour Scot" etc. On the other, I'm constantly embarraased and bored to tears at the "tartan army" mentality up north that perpetuates the old anti-English aggression (God knows, we were mistreated by them - but also by our own). Somehow Scotland just can't seem to dismiss the "Braveheart" crap and launch itself afresh into the future, and one reason is that it has invested in prats like Jack McConnell to carry the flag.
