Homecoming - Scottish Book Trust

Scotland Is......
Loch Ness,
Kilts,
Heather and Haggis,
Peat,
Shortbread in tartan tins,
Whisky,
Edinburgh,
A tourist’s haven.
My vision of Scotland was coloured by T.V. programmes, especially
‘Hamish MacBeth’ and ‘Monarch of the Glen’. These showed lovely
countryside and quaint villages with glens and mountains and their
own culture.
Now that I live here, I experience the different culture in the local
area. Where I live now, I see that the people have a strong hold on
their past heritage, for example, the fishing and the farming although
these industries do not employ the amount of people they used to
even a few years ago.
