Scotland what can i say to you? Your people so kind, so honest that without hesitation; into their homes and beloved places they will show your true warmth. What an inviting and beautiful place you are. Your landscape so green, so alive, so full of life; yet in the still of the mist of Glen Coe an inner peace can be found.
