high road

road on which olde worlde scottish people tell weird foreigners to go as the way to scotland. from the classic tune.....you take the high road....... 'you take the high road and i'll take the low road and i'll be in scotland before ye!' it has often been thought that when the foreigners travelled upon the road they would be savaged by wild, naked, celtic men with blue paint on them (much like in braveheart) and would be viciously killed.....thus eliminating the foreign people!
