                         any more of Celts and Saxons, for they        "WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER LET

                Modern scholars have come to realize that the
                idea of the Anglo-Saxons having exterminated
                or driven off all the Celtic peoples in England
                is equally ludicrous. Countless Celtic rituals
                and traditions still carried out throughout Eng-
                land prove the contrary. Of course, the ancient
                Scottish traditions which captivated Vikings,
                Angles and Normans alike -- the tartans, the
                bagpipes, music and dancing -- are still a val-
                ued part of the Scottish heritage. The environ-
                ment,   climate  and   history  have   shaped
                characteristics which others recognize as typi-
                cal of the Scots. This is just as true of the Eng-
                lish, Welsh and Irish -- and thank God for it!
