...empiricism to its logical extreme.” The question is asked, “Did the philosophical beliefs of Hume represent the spirit of the age in which he lived?” Our hero replies by opening his essay with, “David Hume, the great Scottish philosopher, brought empiricism to its logical extreme. If these be the spirit of the age in which he lived, then he was representative of it.” This generality expert has already taken his position for the essay. Actually he has not the vaguest idea of what Hume really...
...Vikings founded the Scottish stronghold of Skibo in the 9th century, but it is hard to know what they would make of it today.

"I thought, There's no way they're going to let a Scottish guy do this show," he says. (Has he never seen Shrek...
...vikings founded the Scottish stronghold of Skibo in the 9th century, but it is hard to know what they would make of it today. After fighting off the likes of Madonna (who got married in the castle that was built on the original Viking site) and Robbie Williams (who celebrated his birthday there), it is highly unlikely that they would recognize their thousand-year-old home. Where once there were serfs, there are now staff, and a golf course stands on former grazing land. Such is the world of 21st century castle stays...
