Quotes about Scotland.....

"Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards
Gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave!"
From the song, Scotland the Brave .


"If one took the Scots out of the world, it would fall apart"
Dr. Louis B Wright, Washington DC, National Geographic (1964), from Donald MacDonald, Edinburgh





"Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said "This is my own, my native land""
Sir Walter Scott, from Daniel Cameron, Burghead

A Wonderful Day......

Yesterday my sister and I went skiing with Jake and Luke. It was Luke's birthday, and after having lunch and birthday cake we all headed to the ski hill. Being only our second time skiing, we had some accidents throughout the course of the day. Anna did a face dive into the snow, and I fell about five times over a number of three runs on a "bumpy hill" called the Black Diamond. Jake and Luke were the Olympians of the day! Anna and I came home a little battered and bruised, with one side of Anna's face swollen,but had a GREAT! time. We wear our scars proudly as signs of true skiers (or maybe inexperienced ones).
