    Just struck me as funny that we have daily debates between Irish and Scots yet the IRA for whatever reason never targeted Scotland.

    There's not much of any value to blow up there.

    Yeah they planted a bomb on an island the queen was visiting. Maybe in the Shetlands. I'll have a look.

    So they did. I had completely forgotten that. She was going to an oil rig or something. It never came out at the time did it?

    There was a break out in Glasgow in 1921.

    Considering that Scottish soldiers were the worst over here it is surprising that they gave it a swerve. All the 'don't bomb the Celtic nations' should have went out the window.
