In the
beginning, The Lord God Almighty, sitting on His throne on high, turned
to His mate, the Archangel Gabriel and said "Gabby, today I'm going to
create Scotland. I will make it a country of dark beautiful mountains,
purple glens and rich green forests. I will give it clear swift flowing
rivers and I will fill them with salmon. The land shall be lush and
fertile, on which the people shall grow barley to brew into an amber
nectar that will be much sought after the world over. Underneath the
land I shall lay rich seams of coal.In the waters around the shores
there will be an abundance of fish and beneath the sea bed there will be
vast deposits of oil and gas".
"Excuse
me Sire", interrupted the Archangel Gabriel, "Don't you think you are
being a bit too generous to these Scots"?"Not really", replied the Lord,
"wait 'til you see the neighbours I'm giving them".
