If you're prone to getting pissed-off, I wouldn't delve too deeply into your Scottish history. We don't want you ending up painted blue.
My middle name is Andrew, I think you may be to late.
I realize that I'm walking into a historical minefield here, but I think that there's a story to be told. It's a matter what that story is.
The possibility that the first factory in the US was run by unfree labor, and that instead of being descended from religous immigrants many white Americans may be descended from Scots and Irish deported to America by Cromwell. And that's never mentioned in the history books. How many Scots and Irish were deported to New England during the 1650's? And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
'Andrew' is derived from the Greek name Ανδρεας, or 'Andreas'. Ανδρεας comes from ανδρος (andros), ancient Greek for "strong, manly and courageous".
And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
About the middle of the tenth century, Andrew became the patron saint of Scotland. Several legends state that the relics of Andrew were brought under supernatural guidance from Constantinople to the place where the modern town of St. Andrews stands (Pictish, Muckross; Gaelic, Cill Rìmhinn).

Eventually West Sweden and East Sweden, currently known as "Norway" and "Finland," will rejoin into a single homeland. As is in accordance with Truth and Right.
