I used to own Teviotdale Lodge ihotel n Hawick. I am English, but still flew the Scottish flag, which told anyone,. This is a Scottish hotel and restaurant which , although being operated by the English, had a very deep respect for Scotland and it's people. I thought I would be met with anymosity and hatred. The truth could not have been different. it was the best time of my life. The Scots don't hate the English. I never felt it.
