What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

I wouldn't say we Scots are immune to racism - although it's a much less serious problem than in many other parts, I still encounter people who dislike 'Pakis', which is of course a cover-all term to describe any person of Asian extraction.
But that said, integration here is generally better than in many areas of Britain, and I'm certainly in agreement with you that I would like to retain a British passport rather than a Scottish one. Although in my experience, it is sometimes useful to make the point that one is Scottish rather than English when travelling in Europe, especially France and Germany.
