CULTURE, water and energy are three things Scotland has in spades. Last weekend, we managed to get all three as Stirling hosted a fantastic set of Highland Games, where even the mixed weather couldn’t put a dampener on people’s spirits.There were plenty of international guests too, with English being intermingled with languages such as French and German. The energy of the place was electrifying, with plenty of folk enjoying the spectacles or just enjoying catching up with friends old and new.
Events like the Highland Games showcase Scotland’s deep cultural heritage. Stirling itself is filled with links to Scotland’s past. Once the capital of Scotland for a time, the city boasts the impressive Stirling Castle, home of numerous kings and queens of Scotland. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the Edinburgh Festivals where many incredible acts have come to perform across the iconic city. And of course, Glasgow is host to a thriving music industry which has seen Scotland’s musical talent go global.
Equally though, this is also why whenever Scots go abroad, whether for work or fun, there is a strong interest in our nation in the North Atlantic. This has been the case whether I was representing Scotland in the European Parliament or more recently in Canada at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, where I got to meet with plenty of folk with a strong interest in our culture and history.
