Although outwardly the world sees the Scots with their kilts, their bagpipes and their power of legislation,and the Welsh not openly displaying anything, we are now returning to our traditions that were for a while laid aside, we are wearing the kilt and are forming pipe and drum bands. Wales is the older country by far, so we have been fighting for much longer, even if at times we have been on the back foot, and to outsiders we don't look any different to the English , there is something that the Welsh have always had, besides the Red Dragon, our National Flag, we have our Language; it must do something to the Scottish psyche to know that their two National tongues are both foreign in origin. A Welsh person has always had two faces, whether it be at home or in anglicised countries such as The States, we show our outward worldly face, no different to any other man (or woman) in the street, but our other face is of a fierce pride in our roots and, amongst ourselves, those of us who are fortunate enough, can temporarily turn our backs on Anglo-Saxon society and, through our Language can return to one of the most ancient lineages of this modern world, Richard Burton was a perfect example of this. Cerys Matthews of Catatonia said that every day when she wakes up she thanks the Lord that she is Welsh, or words to that effect; of course it's not a sentiment held by everyone; when my next door neighbour at the age of five discovered that he wasn't English he burst out crying.
