My Daughter gave me that book around a year ago. I am only about half way through it. It is tough going but it is interesing how much of the modern world owes it's roots to Scotland.

I gave it to my mother and she loves it.

My ancestors on both sides are about 95% Scottish. The only two I have found who aren't are Irish. Although I love much of Scottish culture such as bagpipes, I will admit Scottish food doesn't appeal to me.

As others in this thread have mentioned, the sad fact is that a lot of traditional Scottish fare comes from a time of profound, crushing poverty and so it's going to a bit more 'sparse' than what we in the 21st century are accustomed to, but I also love much of the rest about Scotland and her fine people..

Here's a particularly stirring version of Scotland The Brave that you and others here may perhaps enjoy  :-)
