A backward country it is not,some of you just see the English as a kind of master race who's footballers should not be charged with police assault or bribery by a wee nation only good for a pyss up.
The Celtic tribes who inhabited modern day Scotland at the same time as the Greek philosophers most assuredly were not living in caves.

They lived in a variety of homes, some of wood some of stone and their hilltop fortresses were far from being primitive. Indeed our very own Dundee Law had an iron age hill for.

The problem was, they past stories down verbally not in writing so we have lost what they spoke about unlike the Greeks.
