The people of Scotland fighting for independence

Scotland has its own parliament, laws, banks and currency. Their delicate relationship with the English was one of both hatred and jealousy. How could the war for so many years be in vain? To this day, the Scots are still fighting for independence. Wasn't the last word William Wallace shouted in "Braveheart" just "Freedom"?

Scotland’s national flower is a wildflower called the thistle. I heard that there was an invasion by foreigners many years ago. When I was preparing for a sneak attack at night, I was stung by this small thorny plant and screamed loudly, which exposed my whereabouts. I finally returned in defeat. So the Scots regarded it as the national flower. In fact, it is just like the Scots, stubborn and characterful.

Scotland loves life

They have preserved their traditional culture well and still retain their own style in folk songs, music and costumes. national characteristics.

Scotch Whiskey - If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will be intoxicated. They are open-minded, simple and upright. Perhaps it is the stubbornness and tenacity cultivated by the continuous rainy season and harsh climate. The Scots wore this skirt to express their resistance to English rule and their strong desire for national independence.

Whenever the residents of the Scottish Highlands have a festive gathering today, they always put on a beautiful checkered skirt, a cloak, a high crown of black fur, a white feather on the left side, and a white feather on the front of the waist. Wearing a black and white decorative bag, white shoe covers, short woolen socks, and knee-length trousers, she played the cheerful bagpipes and danced the "Cintrub Haas", a strong Scottish national custom. Coming at you. The piper in plaid skirts, the bartender in plaid skirts, the soldier in plaid skirts, the family man in plaid skirts... For Scotland, just like the plaid skirts and bagpipes cannot be separated, there are no men in plaid skirts. Scotland has also changed its flavor.

It is like the words woven on clothing, telling the history of every Scottish ethnic group. In the movie "Braveheart", there is a beautiful scene: when the Scottish national hero Wallace and his lover escaped the surveillance of the English and made a lifelong commitment to each other under the moonlight on the quiet plateau, Wallace gave his lover a gift The token of love is a piece of plaid woven into the symbol of their tribe.
