Not sure it needs saved- it's fantasy. It's only a problem if folks start
taking bits seriously (like authentic funeral-dancing). It would be simpler
to explain to non-Scots that it is set in a land which is only a little bit
like Scotland. A bit like the portrayal of Germany in 'Springtime for
Hitler'.
