Packing up my camp from a soggy field near the south shore of Loch Lomond, ScotlandĪlexander Stewart – in full regalia, playing bagpipes near Glencoe, Scotland.Īlex Stewart Jr. Melawend and I reach the south shore of Loch Lomond, Scotland! I believe in the background is Ben Lomond on the eastern shore. But what more could I say of it? I was an ignorant young guy.
I knew Scotland was a hell of a lot more than that. They had a throaty accent, and were resolute in their individuality. My image of Scots was of a people that were valiant, proud, tenacious, boisterous, brawling, vigorous, weathered, and hearty. To me, Scotland was Lomond’s beauty, the monster Nessie, rugged shores, barren green hinterlands, harsh wet weather, strong liquor, bagpipes and kilts.
I had four primary destinations in Scotland: Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, Inverness, and Edinburgh. Soggy but happy, Melawend and I reach Scotland!
