What isit about Scotland? I've got it, too! were we all there in a past life? Or is it the rootless American again longing for a place whose bones go deep, deep down into the earth. For me it's all of the above, plus my Granny was a Stewart. The pipes stir my blood, the dancing gets me moving, and a laddie in a plaidie is the best sight I can think of!
Ickle Dorrit, I'm glad you liked Loch Lomond, too- 22 years ago when I was last in the UK it was one of the loveliest stops on my rambles.
