It has taken me a wee while to find this thread. I am reminded by the cover posted here by Joan cursus , of an old prophecy from the 17th century by the Brahan Seer , Coinneach Odar, Scotlands own Nostradamus , when men shall ride horseless carriages under the sea to France ,then Scotia will rise anew free from all oppressionThe opening of the Scottish Parliament not long after the Euro Tunnel carried trains to the continent is seen as fulfilling his 300 years old prophesy. (He was burned in boiling tar for witchcraft by the way)
