In ‘79 we
were told that not enough people had voted even though the majority voted for
independence. After this, some Scots were disillusioned and left Scotland. I
left Scotland myself in 1980
for America
and returned here in 1989. Turmoil can
create great art though and after ’79 in the eighties there was a revival of
Scottish art, music and writing. Since then there has also been a revival in
Scottish pride and culture. Back in the 70s there were fewer ceilidhs and kilts
were rarely seen at events or on the high streets and there was less pride in
our Scottish heritage.
Here are a few of my kilt images of recent years!
