Other folk would think of men in kilts and Highland dancing; while others might think of bagpipe music. Perhaps some scientists among us might think of all the inventions made by famous Scots such as the telephone and television or thediscovery of penicillin, while others might remember that the great philanthropist Andrew Carnegie was a Scot.
• Others would be reminded of the Scottish Customs and Traditions such as Hogmanay and of course our strange tongue with the singing of Auld Lang Synearound the world every New Year - a song which was written by our mostfamous Poet, Rabbie Burns, but few people understand. Ex-pats might think nostalgically of Burns Suppers or even create their own wherever they are, or perhaps they might think not so much as eating haggis but having a good plate of Fish and Chips and Mushy Peas, or having a cup of tea with some freshshortbread. But certainly to many, the food and drink is indeed very much part of our Scottish Customs and traditions.
