DUNCAN BARKES Inventors have been the flower of Scotland...
The fabulous Six Nations rugby continues and the battle lines will be drawn in a few Sundays' time as England takes on Scotland.
Having Scottish ancestors I always find myself torn between these two great nations, especially as Scotland has long been the butt of jokes and clichéd comments from the English.
This goes beyond rugby.
The bigotry goes back centuries, yet I would wager that most people have no idea how grateful they should be to Scotland for its vast contribution to modern life.
