Scotland

One of my favorite places in the world and one I have never seen (except in pictures).

I first fell in love with Scotland through a poem by a favorite poet of mine, Robert Burns. The poem is called "My Heart's in the Highlands." Since then, this poem is relevant to me as that's where I feel my heart is. Oh, I am an American citizen and have no reason (at least not now) to believe that'll ever change, but that doesn't mean I can't have a favorite country outside of the US.

So, what prompted this post you may be wondering? Simple. I recently received an email with a link to a photo album. The contents of this photo album were pictures taken in Scotland. I had thought of including a link to that site, but decided not to as it may not have been meant for public viewing. However, I can add links to some sites about Scotland which I have visited.
