St Andrew's Day
Today is St Andrew's Day - Scotland's national day a celebration of all good things that are Scottish.
Although it's fair to say we Scots have a long way to go before we can rival our Celtic cousins in Ireland for the way they have anger put St Patrick's Day on the world map.
So, let me throw in my tuppence worth.
I find it odd that great foodstuffs which is quintessentially Scottish such as venison, rabbit, hare and duck are so hard to find in Scotland - outside of fine dining restaurants.
Whereas in Spain and France equivalent products are widely sold in supermarkets and local shops - wild boar, jamon, rabbit, local sausages, cuts of meat and pates of all kinds.
Not just that but people are fiercely proud of the quality of their products - and are keen to sell you as much of it as they can.
If you ask me, St Andrew's Day will start to take off when we see some of these items appearing more regularly - in our local supermarkets.
