I fell in love with Scotland and made good friends here, so I stayed after graduating with Honours in Chemistry.

But I fear, my lot being cast in Scotland, that beauty would not be content.

The Navy's paid for you to go through school, and then they need doctors to go out and take care of people who are in various different parts of the world. I decided to pay back my time first as an undersea medical officer. I was stationed in Scotland.

While some of them acknowledge the obligation of natural morality in their mode of conducting their cases, and preserve their individual character as gentlemen, there are others who acknowledge no law, human or divine, but the law of Scotland.

There's something fundamentally wrong with a system where there's been 17 years of a Tory Government and the people of Scotland have voted Socialist for 17 years. That hardly seems democratic.

There's a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, and the shortbread tins and that sort of thing.
