But like you i had the capacity to learn that was wrong when i became an adult. Though there is is nothing wrong with celebrating Scotland, it should be encouraged, just make it inclusive.

If a day of celebration doesn't come into being in a natural and organic way, it will probably seem a wee bit fake and people probably won't get into it in a big way, a bit like the recent attempt at a "One Britain, One Nation Day".
