The Arran Suffragette

John Roberts sends us an amusing story.

I was interested to read the article about Flora Drummond, and wonder if others have heard the tale about her taking part in a demonstration in Glasgow. A policeman questioned the legitimacy of her participation, accusing her of being English and therefore in the wrong place. She replied forcefully in fluent Gaelic – a language most members of the Glasgow police force could be expected to understand in those days!
