A popular Scottish tourist attraction provoked outrage by banning English visitors and destroying 'English' items such as bone china and the works of Shakespeare.
The Edinburgh Dungeon said the one-day event is in revenge for the Battle of Falkirk, fought 710 years ago July 21st, at which more than 2,000 Scots were slaughtered by the Auld Enemy.
English visitors will only be allowed entry if they sign a scroll swearing allegiance to Scotland, while those from other countries will be encouraged to bring in items deemed 'typically English’ to be smashed.
And how mature is that!!!

Well, Edinburgh Dungeon is owned by a company based in Dorset, who own similar attractions across the UK.
It's all supposed to be tongue in cheek, but I do think this goes a little far...
Sounds daft. Puerile undoubtedly; pandering to anti-English sentiment too. Get stuck in to the Sassenachs, as Fraser in Dad's Army would have said.
I visited the Amsterdam Dungeon in March and it was all harmless "fun". One visit was sufficient.
