Is Scotland a real country?

As an apol for being so rude to the Scots.
Hibs fans with the wonderful Sunshine on Leith (The Proclaimers). There is a bit of yap, but mostly the BBC accept that the song sung by the massed choir of fans is well worth airtime.

The Moroccan player is the one (later) wearing the fez and the Moroccan flag.
"We're all Jock Tamson's bairns" seems true on this occasion.
Sadly Scottish fitba is rife with sectarianism. I just can't seem to stay away from that subject.

But The Proclaimers' song has nothing of this in it, and I get choked up hearing it sung. It's beautifully understated and imho more powerful for it. Gotta love the Scots.
