An old Jock song which sprang to mind when I read a rather hopeful piece in The Telegraph by Ian Martin. He suggests, no more, that one result of the recent referendum was to wake up the genteel middle-class, mainly situated in and around Edinburgh, who rightly affronted by the extremism of the Scots Nats and, with no love for Labour, might be tempted to double-lock the 'NO' result by voting Tory in the next election. The lady who leads the Tories north of the border enjoyed an excellent campaign and made something of a name for herself and her party. What a turn up that would be if Scotland returned a few Tory MPs! Mind you, I'll believe it when I see it because, as my old Ma, true Scots lassie down to her tartan bloomers, always reckoned the Campbells were an untrustworthy bunch. She would have known being part Campbell herself - Jean Ann Mary Mackay Campbell Duff, by name!
