In Elephant Polo.
Clicky (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/4073353.stm)
Scotland are celebrating sporting glory after being crowned world champions of elephant polo.
The Duke of Argyll captained the Chivas team to victory in the Elephant Polo World Championships in Nepal.
They beat National Parks of Nepal 12-6 to regain the world title they last won in 2001.
Arriving back in the UK, the jubilant Duke said: "No one can deny Scotland are one of the world's sporting heavyweights."

I make absolutely no excuses for the excesses of British imperialism, and I doubt that you can find an instance of me doing so, but whatever the evils of Britain's presence in India, we left them as the largest democracy in the world.
Whereas your "Indians" were largely wiped out.
Now go and troll somewhere else old chap; this is supposed to be about Scotland's moment of sublime sporting triumph.
Go Scots!!
