Product Information
-Just after the Border Forest, a carload of excited, waving people passed us going in the opposite direction. We knew we had reached Scotland at last! The boys cheered. My mother and I were home again, in that land of soaring mountains, rushing burns and ancient glens.- - From sparkling lochs to mountain tops, a family rediscovers their Scottish roots! Driving long distances in a short space of time throughout the United Kingdom is the rm wadays. However, in the seventies it was often an adventure to cover the length or breadth of Britain. In this illustrated memoir Stirling-born Fay Kwles shares memories of her 1978 journey back to Scotland with her mother and young sons, to revisit their Scottish roots. Fascinating Scottish Memorabilia - The Scottish Connection contains a wealth of information - Scottish ancestry, historical facts, genealogy, comparable 1978 prices, geographical descriptions, personal anecdotes, stalgia and precious old photos. -A little way out of Aberfoyle we found the lodge on the Craigenveoch estate where my mother and family had lived. On warm, summer evenings she, Jack and Ray leaned out of their bedroom windows, watching their parents sing along with friends to gramophone music as they rowed across Loch Ard. The loch was described by Sir Walter Scott as a 'beautiful sheet of water ... a spacious mirror'.-Product Identifiers
