Hey /lit/, what do you think about Scotland?
Their country is hoorible. They're all utter fucking trash, amirite?

They're the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization.

Scotland seems pretty cool. They've produced lots of good bands, and some good writers. The climate seems nice (I'm from the pacific northwest, I love grey damp gloomy places). Plus, castles!

I like Idlewild, and the lyrics the Edwin Morgan wrote for them. I wouldn't mind checking out some more Edwin Morgan.

It isn't in the mirror
It isn't on the page
It's a red-hearted vibration
Pushing through the walls
Of dark imagination
Finding no equation
There's a Red Road rage
But it's not road rage
It's asylum seekers engulfed by a grudge
Scottish friction
Scottish fiction

It isn't in the castle
It isn't in the mist
It's a calling of the waters
As they break to show
The new Black Death
With reactors aglow
Do you think your security
Can keep you in purity
You will not shake us off above or below
Scottish friction
Scottish fiction

I study in Edinburgh. Today, I had a tutorial in the room which once housed the publication which inspired Byron's first great poem, 'English Bards and Scotch Reviewers'. Incidentally, if you negate Byron's time in Scotland, you lose one of the English language's finest versifiers. That harsh Aberdonian landscape, the dialect, the coarseness of the local Calvinists: it's what forms the wonderful sorrow and sense of damnation that runs like a magma stream below his finest lines.
