About Us

The photo above shows us (and a few members of our family) stopping for a snack at a little tea-room near Glencoe.

So that you can get to know us a little better, here's some info. about us ........

Sue

I was born in Glasgow, Scotland and all my relatives are Scottish as far back as you can go. That is, save for one lone Irishman, who adds a little extra 'flavor' to the family tree.


Although I've lived all over the place (including many areas of England, Canada and now the United States), I'm very much Scottish at heart - as is every Scot I've ever met.

My mom proves this point well, as she's spent the last 50 years living outside of Scotland, but one note of 'Scotland The Brave' played on the bagpipes and she's whirling and 'whee-ing' with the best of them.


Annie (That's me on the left!)

Although I wasn't born in Scotland, I am most certainly Scottish at heart!

My family moved to the United States when I was around nine years old, and I'm currently at university studying art.

Even with the distance I think that my longing for my familys' homeland has grown stronger and made me even more proud of where we come from.

The sound of the bagpipes still sends chills down my spine and a photo of that beautiful Scottish scenery is paint to my canvas :o)

I love the country I live in, but there is no place like home! I hope that we're able to do Scotland justice through our website and help you to experience this amazing country for yourself!

This poem expresses how it feels to be a Scot, and it's written by Sue's sister. Hope you enjoy it....

The Scot Within Me

Why is it that my heart stirs

When I hear the bagpipes play?

Why do I feel Scotland is my home

When I live so far away?

Why do I feel a sense of pride

When I see the Saltire fly?

Although it may seem strange to you

Perhaps I can tell you why.

When you are born of Scottish blood

Something strange seems to take place

As if a seed is planted within you

Which makes you fiercely proud of your race.

This Scottish patriotism never dies

And in your soul it always remains

Because Scotland is as much a part of you

As the blood flowing through your veins.
