SCOTLAND.....THE TERRIBLE TRUTH!

DID YOU KNOW...............?

The Hebrides, one of the remotest and most desolate parts of Scotland famed for its tough inhabitants....or so we thought!

The truth will shatter the image of tough hard drinking scotsmen forever.

Ancient cave paintings, pre-dating Christ, portray the women as ungodly heathens responsible for hunter gathering and defending the family, whilst their menfolk stayed at home cooking and raising the children. Hence the islands were named 'He Brides'.

The tradition later spread to the mainland where even today many of the menfolk adhere to the ancient traditions of lazing around the house all day wearing tartan skirts.

Strange but true
