Tell you what, you don't come to our bit of dirt and I won't visit you well-fed good ol' boys in your kilts and CSA cadet-gray jackets in Alabammy.
PS and who says, as a spam, you're entitled to wear an Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders officer's badger-mask sporran ?

Weill, if it's hardship, tragedy and betrayal that you want, you canna beat Scotland for that lot.....William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, Glencoe, the Children of the Mist, Bonnie Prince Charlie, a long sad list of epic struggle and defeat in the face of overwhelming adversity. It's nae wonder that more Scots have left Scotland than live there, and its the ones who left that always seem to get on....Andrew Carnegie, Alexander Graham Bell, John Muir, James Buchannan, James K. Polk, Sam Houston, Stephen Austin, Jim Bowie....American history is filled with the names of Scottish diaspora who are remembered as a part of history because they or their ancestors outgrew that little corner in the north of Britain that has proven to be such a harsh mother to her children.
And btw, the sporran is a civilian badger, the cones on the tassels aren't of regimental pattern, and it's an American badger besides, not the British variety.
