Particularly is the Englishman made aware of the distinction between the Scottish and the English on St. Andrew's night. St. Andrew is called the patron saint of Scotland, but in actual fast Robert Burns is the real heroic figure. Burns was not altogether a saint; above all elso he was human and your true Scot is a very human and likeable sort.

St. Andrew has, of course, a much more respectable history than has St. George. The latter was not an Englishman and he was a war profiteer. All of the business about the dragon was just eyewaak-an attempt to make an heroic figure out of an ordinary man who had rather pogru lar name. The Hanoverian Kings who ruled England (and Scotland) were lucky to have the name of George The only Scottish Kings that have ruled Great Britain had names often used in English families-James and. Charles..
