Hi M (nee Mrs. Kirkbride:),

Have a great trip!

Got your email at the Scottish gathering!

Nice to have that little church as a center on Cuttyhunk. Hope you were able to say farewell to many friends there. That Cuttyhunk church as network is great - with parallels in some ways to Scottish gatherings as network.

May have gotten a new bagpiping pupil, beginning on the practice chanter, named Maggie - after a conversation in the Clan MacLeod tent, which would be great and fun.  To be seen ...

Afternoon at the games was fun too. Nice to talk with Pipe Sergeant of the Piedmont Highlanders' Matt A and long-time Bay Area native who went to the Quaker Haverford College Bruce M (and who hitchhiked around the periphery of Scotland for 3 months in 1973), two pipers, esp. and also to hear Alasdair Fraser's Scottish fiddlers play, among other enjoyable moments:) (There are still a fair number of Scottish Californian hippies around, I'd say:)

Centering to be among Scots somehow.

Safe travels.


L,
Scott

Methinks re

What does freedom or self-rule or sovereignty look like for Scots in Scotland in the 2020s - as an independent country? Besides possibly having first to get out of the United Kingdom, and then seek admittance into the European Union, and in further defining taxation and defense questions, as well as defining economic and financial questions, - what else? Scots have had their own legal system, as well as educational system for centuries. The SNP will play a role in navigating all these questions, I'd guess, as will Scottish democratic processes. And with information technology - and with regard to society and information technology questions? Scots did build their own parliamentary building in Edinburgh around the year 2000, so much deliberation about all of this will probably emerge in the Scottish Parliament as well.

So, further, ... What does freedom or self-rule or sovereignty or independence look like for Scots in Scotland in the 2020s?

... that the country or the nation state, so citizens and citizenship re nation, with the 'structures' of a sovereign state will be significant, and the "basic unit" too ... and that the 'people' will decide ... and that developing law, and international law, will be very significant too ...
