I have been working on my website and in coding a piece for St. Giles' Church I ran across this interesting little quote:
"In the late 17th century a carillon was made for the cathedral by James Meikle. On the day in 1707 that the Treaty of Union was signed to merge the Parliament of Scotland with the Parliament of England and create the Kingdom of Great Britain, the carilloner in St Giles rang the bells in the tune Why should I be so sad on my wedding day? "
That just about expresses the feelings of most Scotsmen on that day I suppose.
