I'm a sassanach, with a Scottish father, who was serving in the HLI in Second World war. Brings a tear to my eye watching this. He's 95 on Saturday, a proud Scot, we love a sing song of Scottish tunes. I sing in a crappy Scottish accent and he plays his harmonica. He loves that song...The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen.....we always greet each other, and he always says....there's no use Greetin'....always makes me smile....
