I haven't watched any Alba, although yes, we do get it. I like the fact that you're positive about it being a good way to bring Scotland to the world. I've no issue with that, but not being able to speak Gaelic puts me off watching, so if it's supposed to be an advert for Scotland I think it fails by being inaccessible to all but just shy of 60,000 people. No doubt you'll tell me it's viewing figures nullify my argument!
I guess I just think it's important to understand that modern Britain no longer consists of just it's indigenous peoples and I think embracing the cultures of those we ask to come and live here to improve our nation is just as important as preserving the cultures that made us somewhere that people want to come in the first place. Perhaps that smacks of me taking Scotland for granted a little bit.
