Customer Reviews

An Introduction to the Homeland for America and Other Scots.

With wit, the author explores the distinctions between the Highlands and Lowlands, the solidarity of its cities and its castles, and the beauty of the scenery from the wilder north to the gentle, comely, rolling border country and the rugged islands. He explores its traditions, eccentricities, and contradictions: clans, kilts, tartans, and bagpipes; golf, dances, and Highland games as well as education, religion and politics and much much more.

A Great Book!
