The beat of the drums in combination with bagpipes is special for me as a Bulgarian. Similar to Scotland, our country has been occupied and terrorized for centuries, which has left a footprint on our culture and folklore. Listening to this rhythms is like a history lesson, if I close my eyes I can see their ancestors preparing for battle, getting ready to protect and preserve their families, believes and dignity. There's so much emotion here. Stay strong Scotland, keep your traditions alive, those traditions are the spirit and the soul of your people.

It always bothers me when people make a big fat assumption that there is real animosity between the Scottish and the English people.
