Washing Lines - Why Scotland Loves Them
The canny Scot is an international image, which has been carried to all corners of the globe by Scots emigrants who left their nature land for foreign shores, adventure and to seek their fortune.
Doing the washing has never been a favourite chore and the history books give little mention as to the habits of William Wallace or Robert the Bruce except they seemed famed for fighting battles. In fact nothing in our Scottish history books refers to the washing lines that came to be a feature of every back garden throughout the land.
