Typo I am sure Taintedice, but union of the parliaments was 1603 and Union of the crowns James 1st and 6th was 1707. I thought this created the United Kingdom, but not sure. Rross no doubt will correct .

I think that people who post on this forum in the past wee while have improved it a bit. Covid has been an interesting topic and so has the discussion about Holyrood and Nicola. Noticed she has volunteered to give up her daily broadcast during the run up to the election because it was unfair. Must have been true then when all the other political parties have been saying this for months.
