An end to Scottish stereo-typing


Finally a series that puts an end to the (as Billy himself would say) Shortbread tin image of Scotland. Where everyone wears a kilt and has an Irish accent. The Scots were the cleverest people in the world. John Logie Baird gave us Television. Alexander Graham Bell gave us the telephone. Alexander fleming, Won the Nobel prize as discoverer of penicillin. David Livingstone helped end Slave Labour and opened up much of darkest Africa (The African natives loved him so much they named a city after his birthplace, Blantyre.) This show portrays the real Scots, and not the red-headed fat blokes from the Flicks.

Well, I've seen films with scots with Irish accents and the irish have Scots accents. Hollywood can't tell the difference.
