    Whilst most on this island were dwelling in caves the Greeks were building temples and inventing philosophy.The Roman empire based many of its building projects on what they learned from the Greeks.
    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.

    Like Funsters passing down stories about winning the Scottish Cup before World War 1 you mean? And, no, I don’t believe those tales either.

    I was referring to Greece six centuries BC.

    Granny Dee survived both waves of the Spanish Flu epidemic which began in Kansas USA in 1918.She is now 104 and although the Covid ravaged her care home i'm pleased to inform you she survived yet again.
    Its a FACT that she will be around the Christmas table again this year with tales of Sailor Hunter and the Vicky Road witches curse of 1910.
