That needs some explaining. \"Sassunoch\" is Scotch-Gaelic for Saxon-or Anglo-Saxon. The Gaelic language was outlawed by an Act of Parliament (English) in 1745. All Scottish tartans were too. Where does that leave me then; the grandson? Am I Scottish? Or am I just another \"feckin' Inglis bastard\". \u003ci\u003eHighland Flings\u003c\/i\u003e is my deep dive into the murky waters of Scottish fact and fantasy with a pack of unruly slew-dogges for guides. Hang on to your sporrans, lads and lassies. After this dip, you may come back up for air wondering who you are too. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e: Sandy Spencer was born in Scotland, grew up in Cornwall, was sent away to schools in Surrey and Dorset, lived for a time in Paris, lived for a much longer time in the US, lives now in England.
