There's not that many places in Scotland where you're more than 40 miles from the sea. And while it is true to say that people in general were less well-travelled in bygone days than they are now, farm labourers - particularly farmworkers who would travel to feeing fairs - got around the country quite a bit, and itinerant workers (see Song of the Fishgutters, for example) were anything but homebodies. | |||
