Scottish Visits

Chapter 1: Unfamiliarity
The McNamara twins, Maria and her parents visited Scotland for a holiday.

They went to Glasgow during an Old Firm game.

A Rangers fan approached them.

"I see you got Irish with you." He said.

He noticed Joseph's Dublin accent.

"Tell me, do you two support the republicans?" He asked Joseph and Saoirse.

"Who the f***'s them?" Saoirse replied.

Everything about Ireland's history after the famine was alien to them.

"Hey, KING OF THE FENIANS!" He shouted out to Joseph, who was trying to walking away.

"Martin, what's a Fenian?" He asked Maria.

"Don't say that word again, Joe." Martin said.

"But, Martin....." He replied.

Jane and Scotty heard the commotion from a mile away.

Jane wore an Easter Rising commeroration scarf while Scotty wore Scottish rugby clothing.

She approached them.

"Jane!" Maria said.

"Um, Jane, can I ask you something?" Joseph asked.

"Yes, what is it?" She asked.

"What's a Fenian?" Joseph asked.

A long silence.

"Well, Joe, it's usually a term for an Irish republican, usually one who has been in the movement for a very long time, but, it's evolved into a slur for Irish people, some Scottish people see Irish descendants and Irish as inferior, Fenian is what they call them." She answered nervously.
