Let's stay on playing cards.
Which card is known as The Curse of Scotland?
And if you know do you want to tell the rest some of the many reasons this might be the case?
I'll go with Heart Disease...
I vaguely remember watching something on TV years ago. One of these history / myth reeanctment type things.
One of the stories was about two people playing cards in a castle and one wrote the execution warrant for somebody in Scotland on a playing card.
I have to say i cant remember anymore of the details of the story.
Im summising the story is linked to the card in question if it rings any bells with anyone else.
I have a tiny inkling that is is a 7 - maybe 7 of diamonds????
Nine ?
6. That it is derived from the nine lozenges that formed the arms of the Earl of Stair, who was especially loathed for his connection with the Massacre of Glencoe and the union with England (1707).
Interesting?
well..... If you like that sort of thing. History; its just one f--ing thing after another.

California
Hawaii
Texas
