What were the Scots thinking?
I hoping that they would expect other cultures to respect the traditions of the country they are visiting.
Guess what, Scots have a high reguard for Scotty dogs they eat pork and there are a lot that practice Christianity.
If that offends you don't go there.

Look at it as a fau pas . We invited the malay people to the commonwealth games. It is unlightly many scots would kmow close contact with dogs is a slight to other religion's during a ceremony .the fact that some thousand of uncovered women were in the stands must of been off the scale of offence...not a word.

They don't have to participate if they don't like it.
Since when was a country visiting another entitled to demand that the host country obey the visitor's laws and customs?

Best we change the subject:
I'm thinking of buying a new rifle. What's best ... a 30-06, or a .270?

Well, when my grandpappy was young, he used to kill everything he hunted with a 30-30 (including Grizz). But unlike most folks here, he was a good shot.

Gawd bless 'em!
