A NOD TO BURNS IN THE SCOTTISH REFERENDUM

It's all over bar the shouting, as they say.  Scotland voted NO to the question ""Should Scotland be an independent country?" In the final analysis it was the Better Together campaign who wanted to maintain the union that won the day.

Let Burns have the last word ... from the last lines of his poem "A Man's Man for A' That"

Then let us pray that come it may

 
(As come it will for a' that) 

That sense and worth o'er a' the earth 

Shall bear the gree an' a' that! 

For a' that, an' a' that, 
It's comin’ yet for a' that,

That man to man the world o'er 


Shall brithers be for a' that.
