Tonight, BBC Scotland News had a small news snippet on the town of Corby, in Northamptonshire, and how they will tomorrow be celebrating Burns Night.

An odd town, second generation Englishmen still talk with a Scottish accent, and you can still buy Scottish stuff in shops (like Irn Bru drinks).

This was the town Bill and his dad Jack(and mum and sister, presumably) moved to in the very late 1950s, moving from the Scottish village of Newton Stewart, and Jack Drummond preached at St. Ninians Church.

Anyway, this is an interesting link to the history of "Little Scotland": http://www.bbc.co.uk/northamptonshire/asop/asop/scotland.shtml

I don't know much about Corby, but this "Scottish ex-pats living in England" atmosphere intrigues me.

Anyone know anything about the town?
