Little is known about the mysterious and frozen lands of the Caledonians. Historically speaking, we have few sources to work with. The First Century AD writer Tacitus, in his biography of the Roman general Gnaeus Julius Agricola, describes a great battle by Agricola in what is now Scotland, but provides only that the inhabitants have "red hair and large limbs" -- a description nearly as skimpy as a true Scotman's underwear.
But recent news reports trickling south of the Wall inform us that Scottish people like to "hurkle-durkle" in bed. And, despite gender stereotypes, both men and women do this. The New York Post tells us more, if you really want to know. Social media is abuzz with this scandalous news. Defenders insist that a good hurkle-durkle is beneficial for your health.
As for me, I make no judgments of other cultures or what other people do in the privacy of their bedrooms. Or huts. But I assure you that although my ancestors may have hailed from Scotland, I most assuredly do not engage in hurkle-durkling.
