The reason Scotsmen started wearing the kilt was due to the height of the thistles and the way they avoided them is now a dance - The Highland Fling ;-)

Great ! Jude, Thanks for asking.
Hope your all doing well.

Here's a Wee Scots Story for you.

Hairst:
Atween the shoors they ettle to save the grain
this hairst o weet and wind.
Noo, in the evenin licht, they`re reapin the hindmaist acres.
The yella combine rattles up and doon lang distances.
In front the lang reel turns and knifes like sharks teeth
cut intae gowd. Twa chutes at the hinerend
spew oot chopped strae and chaff
wi that muckle stoor you`d think the hairvestor on fire.
It sweeps on and never dachles
even when it dueks oot its hollow airm
to feed the waiting bogey
drawn by the dub-splashed tractor keeping accurate pace.
The last lang woosh of grain and aff the tractor speeds
stottin owre ruts, splashin through glaur,
throwin mud to the settin sun
to reach the hills o gowd heapin in the barn
It seems the whole warld`s busy.
The flurry re-enacted on ilka fairm aroon.
Men at wark tae feed their bairns;
keep hoose and steadin wind and waterticht.
Clouds are charcoal against pink –
For a moment the sinkin sun flairs oot.
In the aftermath stubble turns a curious gowden- reed.
Aboon, late swallows jink aboot catching invisible thrips
and a hare, twa rabbits scamper from the last strip o standin grain.
Hairst ower for anither year
An ald bonnet is thrown hich ow`re the silent combine
by way o praise…
The whisky bottle`s oot on the kitchen table
