Homecoming - Scottish Book Trust

Scotland, to me
Scotland, to me, means peaceful scenery – hills, mountains.
It also means history – as far back as the Highland Clearances and big
landlords driving poor crofters out and replacing them with sheep.
Scotland means the whisky industry. There are more distilleries in
Scotland than anywhere else – as in Dufftown, the 7 hills and the 7 stills.
Balvenie is the whisky I like most. If you add ice and leave it just a
few moments, the ice will melt and add a wee bit water and take out
the flavour of the whisky.
Scottish people are more friendly in small villages than in bigger cities.
