Franco-Scottish Sites

There are some interesting sites about Scottish heritage based in France or written in French.  Is the Auld Alliance still alive?  The ancient Franco-Scottish connection has it's roots in a centuries-long association of the two peoples in a political and military alliance. It was an alliance of a classical pattern, many times repeated in the history of international relations. An old political commentator recommended, 'Stand well with your neighbour, but better with your neighbour's neighbour'.
