# William Wallace was Scottish...
...but the surname Wallace means Welsh.

Not surprising considering the Celtic origins and ties of both countries.

# True...
...The St Andrews cross, or saltire, comes from the fact he ws crucified on an X.

I think the legend is that he asked to be crucified on an X as that is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ.

I might be making that up though.

# fair enough
my previous comment was based on my thick-headed confusion of Andrew /Patrick. I'm such a fuckwit.

# That OK... I'm happy to teach.
...what would you like to know next?

I like telling people that it's Scotch Whisky and Irish Whiskey. The Irish added the e as a marketing ploy to differentiate their product.

# Nasty bit of propoganda
spread about by the Church in the middle ages;
They were trying to promote 'their' brand of Christianity & squash other flavours by dissing things like Mary Magdelane & fishes & promoting things like crosses, Holy Grail & communion...
Bear in mind the Bible has been selectivly translated.

...but I still like the legend of how Scotland came to adopy St Andrew as per below.
