Scotland, The Brave.

Edinburgh Castle. Not sure which of the many prints...

2004 Mini-sheet commemorative of the Scottish Parliament building. The architects were the late Enric Miralles (Barcelona, 1955-2000) and his wife Benedetta Tagliabue (Milano, 1963).

1965 Ballater Highland Games.

1987, Scotish Heraldry, Rothesay FDC pm:

1976, Highland Gathering.

March 1978, Holyrood, Edinburgh.

Almost anyone will know one of these famous Scots. They can take any kind of weather except warm and dry, so they'l probably vote for separation. (Nice idea for a thread right now, Cursus.)

If you thought the Highland cow was kind of special, then you haven't seen some of the more exotic wildlife of Scotland, but surely you've heard of them.

I haven't seen these very popular Scottish bridges: the Forth Road Bridge and the Forth Railway Bridge (on the background of the first stamp), close to Edimburgh. Already 50 years old!

July 1987, Scottish Heraldry.












Wishing all the best for Scotland and its people on tomorrow's very important day.

Here are a few more Scots that we have all met at one point or another. Good luck to all Scots, no matter how today's vote turns out!

Good Morning, Well, it looks like this lovely lady and her family won't need to apply for a visa to visit their summer cottage in the highlands after all!

They wouldn't anyway, as the independent Scotland would have kept the monarchy and the Queen; who's, after all, the daughter of a Scotish lady.
"Vox Populi, Vox Dei", The voice of the people is the voice of God!

Hi Cursus, Was the Queen Mum born in Scotland, there seems to be some doubt about exactly where she was born. But she did spend her childhood there at Glamis, a fantastic place to visit although one can only walk about in the gorgeous park areas. By the way, in news reports I have picked up that only people with permanent residence in Scotland were allowed to vote, including foreigners living there.
