Excerpt from Scotland of the Scots
This distinction between the two primal races of Scotland grows less and less marked with the advance of time, and it must not be thought that the divergent traditions have militated against the evolution of a uniform national spirit. Far from it Under one crown, the Highlanders and Low landers, however different their respective temperaments and ideals, were united in a struggle for existence as a nation that was bound, in the nature of things, to produce a senti ment wholly Scottish. Kilted clansmen, Galloway Kerns, and men-at -arms from Tweeddale and Clydesdale alike rallied round the standard at Bannockburn, and, shoulder to shoulder, fought for independence against the army of Edward I, the Hammer of the Scots. And so, for centuries, Highlanders and Lowlanders fought together that they might remain under the one crown of Scotland, till the day when a Scottish King, James, ascended the throne of England and the old feud was at an end. It would be passing strange, then, if that long association in arms did not produce a national spirit, however unproductive the internal relations of Highlanders and Lowlanders might have been. We know that it has evolved the essentials of the Scottish sentiment: the strong, almost herce, independence, patriotism, love of home and home sentiment that distinguish the Scot abroad.
