I did it out of love for my fellow man. I realised that the Australians were deprived of culture so gave up my heritage and dedicated my life to bringing our superior (Scottish) culture to the Antipodes. You could even say that I was a cultural missionary.

I believe, in my modest self-effacing way, that Tasmania is now a better place for my having chosen to live here. Britain's loss is Tasmania's gain.

I realise that deep in your heart you would dearly like to be Scottish my friend but to come second best is not so bad if you think about it.
