Scottish Independence and British Art

As we await the outcome of today's vote in Scotland I just wanted to take a few moments to share with you an article I read in the Guardian late last week.

In the most recent election results it looks as though the outcome of the referendum will be a "No".  This is a result that many may have suspected as some of my lawyer friends have informed me that, historically, positive results for referendums are extremely rare.

Regardless of the decision today, however, it is certain that its hailed in a new age of Scottish nationalism and that citizens of both England and Scotland will be re-examining their heritage and what terms such as English, Scottish, British mean.

I hope you find the article below as interesting as I did.
