@Lynne: If I am not mistaken, that wonderful little quote is taken from a Blandings short story. Here is another one,

"A curious expression came into Angus McAllister�s face – always excepting the occupied territories. It was the look of a man who has not forgotten Bannockburn, a man conscious of belonging to the country of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. He made Scotch noises at the back of his throat."

Kind of puts the "Scott" into "Scottish."

Oh, and just in case you have a moment, here is Martin Scorsese talking about Colonel Blimp. It gets a little flag wavy at the end, but a lovely film about friendship.
