Why is Scotland Restive ?

Sia,—Thank you for printing the article by the Very Rev. George Duncan on Scottish feeling. With, its sanity of judgement and timely clarification of the issues involved it was most refreshing, and it has, I am sure, given much satisfaction to many Scots.

Some of us, here in Scotland, are getting a little tired of being treated as pococurantes because we attach some importance to a heritage of which we are not ashamed. A respect for history does not necessarily imply a smallness of mind. A little „generosity of outlook on the part of the English, whom we deeply admire, would be so easy to express and would do so much to improve relations.—Yours
