Description

Now a modern classic, "Scotland: An Intimate Portrait" is an introduction to the soul of Scotland for the millions who have visited this enchanting land and come away wanting to know more than the guidebooks tell us. With wit and warmth, Geddes MacGregor examines his homeland's traditions, history, eccentricities, and contradictions, offering a portrait of Scotland as only a native can. Golf, kilts, clans, tartans, whisky, and other things quintessentially Scottish are described in loving detail. There are sections on local speech, literature and songs, kings and queens, religion, education, and nationalism.
