As this episode airs we are approaching St Andrew’s Day on the 30th of November - Scotland’s official national day. We explore the story behind the man and what led to him being adopted as the patron saint of Scotland - amongst other things including gout! This leads in turn to the Saltire and how it came to be the official flag of Scotland and a visible symbol of our identity. We conclude with a wide ranging and light-hearted discussion on what it is that makes someone Scottish. The traits, the stereotypes, the psyche - “here’s tae us; wha’s like us? Damn few, and they’re a’ deid!”

P.S. I know we are still in November, but we have put a date in the diary for a virtual Christmas Party with you, our listeners and followers. We have loved all your likes and comments and it would be lovely to have a blether with you – bring your party hats and be ready for some Christmas games ! The date is Wednesday December 9th at 8.30pm GMT (London) / 9.30PM Paris / 3.30pm EST (New York). Full details will be in an event on our facebook page nearer the time. We’ll also post details to our Instagram page.
