With the 6 Nations Rugby tournament upon us, we're treaded to some classic adverts, including these two. The first seems to insinuate that the Irish are dodgy (i.e. cowboy) builders. Naaaah.

Excellent short film making the case for Scottish independence from England. We're looking at a vote of the Scottish people in 2014 (if the Scottish National Party can overcome the legal hurdles thrown their way by the English government at Westminster) which could decide whether we stay or go. This film should give you a bit of background and dispel some myths about Scotland making its own way in the world...

I heartily recommend Neil Oliver's "A History of Scotland", available in book form from Amazon (Amazon Link) and also in 10 hour Epic DVD (Amazon Link). Oliver is an archaeologist by trade and a native Scot, whose energy and enthusiasm really shine through. The series contains stunning footage of Scotland's landscapes, stirring music and a few hundred years worth of treachery, betrayal and all that good stuff.
Alternatively, all the episodes are available to watch for free, on Youtube. I've collected each part in a list below, after the "read more" link;
