Auld Lang Syne.

Ah the fifties, yes that was my high school days, a Sasanach, quickly learning the local |Doric Scots|dialect of North Eastern Scotland. Heart pounding at the sight of those beautiful northern \'quanes\'. History, I considered as a very boring subject, but to be fair I don\'t think there was much hate around, not even for Sasanachs. 
We had English 1, and English 2, 1 was classic English studies, 2 had nothing to do with Enlish,everything to do with Scots,even the language at times was stretching a it bit, but that was the class run by a very dewer Headmaster, a true gentleman. Robert Burns rated highly in his classes. This Scottish crofters son, made some profound observation. He saw fellowship between mouse and men. My favorite line\'s from, A Man\'s a Man for A\' that,|The rank is but the guinea\'s stamp,The man\'s the gowd (gold) for a\' that|. 
He saw it then, we should see it now!
