Halal Haggis... now there's a thought.

Chris McG, pretty sure majority of Scots would not want to be associated with you, public opinion is very clear on nuclear power and weapons, most people in Scotland want them out , only a xenophobic minority like yourself still want them. The SNP are the Government in Scotland , despite you Labour losers not liking it.

Mr Angry, ayrshire,

Now here is a great Scottish tradition!

Through out history when Scottish kings and politicians are not selling the noble Scottish people down the river for land (in england) and gold from the English, French, Spanish and Danish. they make alliance with England's enemies.

This is why England created the union in the first place

Glad to see with looming independence that Scotland's current crop of lick spittle low browed politicians are keep this tradition alive.

Hey, the man's with-it: he certainly knows where the real power lies in Britain today!

It will never work,the Iranians take much too much water with their whiskey and have you seen how much sugar they put on their porridge.
The morality police would insist on longer kilts ....oh this will never work Alex.

robert everitt, wolverhampton,

I laughed when I read this. Doesn't he know that England is also governed by the Scots? Perhaps he only recognises a Scot when it wears tartan?

How fickle and selective the political memory. In the 1940's the Allies (Britain) invades Persia (Iran) because the then leader supported the Axis. Britain was very interested in control of Persian (Iranian) oil Fields in 1953 when at Anglo Persian Oil Company (BP) behest, with the help of the CIA organised a coup de'atat against Prime Minister Mosaddeq government. Twenty years later the British government sold and delivered 1000 tanks and other weapons to the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi through the Crown Agents. to "save" British jobs.
In the 1980's Britain supported Saddam Hussain against Iran then under Ayatollah Khomeni. The same tanks were used against Saddams forces in the Iran/Iraq War.. Britains duplicity is nothing if not consistent.
Question if your country had been seriously disturbed four times in seventy years by the same people with that track record would you trust them?

Alexander, Victoria.,

Ha ha. An excellent idea from the Iranian ambassador. As a proud BRITISH person i have been horrified by Alex Salmond's ideas for Scottish independence. I thank the Iranian ambassador for drawing association, however vague, between an independent Alex Salmond led Scotland and Tehran. What better incentive could there be for the UK to be united? As for Scotland's 'antiwar' stance, perhaps the ambassador should note the Scottish regiments, men and women, currently serving abroad in the British army.

It really creeps me out! The SNP are a minority and need other parties such as the Greens to get policies through. Labour dropped the ball in our elections, the Lib Dems have no backbone to take it, and the Tories don't care about Scotland. Nuclear power and weapons employ a lot people on the Clyde. Regardless of your environmental views no one wants to see jobs go. Pretty sure the majority of Scots do not want to be associated with the undemocratic regime of Iran.

Chris McG, Glasgow,

If I were Scottish, this would creep me out.
