Robert Burns - Complete Poetical Works


The idea that the Scots came from the Middle East has some strong evidence behind it. They have found tartan in tombs in China. The DNA markers from people on the Hebrides linked up to Iraq. I remember having a conversation with my grandmother and she was telling me all her family had fair hair and blue eyes. Blue eyes dominate my Scottish family, and one only has to see the description of the physical appearance of the ancient Scythians to know that they had fair hair and blue eyes. Blue eyes are a genetic mutation from the Black Sea, basically ancient Scythia. There are small peculiarities like how similar the Kurdish flag is to the Gaelic flag, they both consist of a yellow sun.
