Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion; it is nothing more or less than a Scotch Irish Presbyterian rebellion. ((Hessian Officer on American War of Independence 1778))

Thaim wi a guid Scots tongue in their heid are fit tae gaun ower the warld. (Scots Proverb)
