As a parent of two young children, one of whom has learned the basics at 5yo, and another who can now name the pieces at just shy of 2yo, I will say this. The public spats do nothing to enhance the reputation of the game in Scotland, nor encourage prospective parents who wish to get their children involved in it. As a CS member, I am frankly sick of this public wrangling. We are struggling for financial support yet folk prefer to pursue their individual agendas and bash heads rather than tackle the reasons for the game's decline in Scotland. I for one will not be putting my children forward into an arena where division and discord exists.
