We Brithers Be, A Man's a Man For Aw That (the Poetry of Robert Burns)

The shalwar-kameez is not typical Scottish dress, but very colourful all the same. This is a photo of twins dressed for the 'Eid' celebrations at the end of Ramadan fasting. These guys are fully integrated members of multicultural Scotland. They play local football, take part in boxing and have wonderful soft Scottish accents! Oh and they and their family are nice people!

 

For a' (all) that and a' that

It's coming yet for a' that

That man to man the world o'er (over)

Shall brithers (brothers) be for a' that.

 

A verse from Robert Burns, Scotland's national bard (poet).
