When I was a little girl, I loved to listen to my aunts and uncles talk about "the old country." Scotland, to me, sounded like the most magical place on earth. I remember once my Uncle Denis told me about his childhood in Glasgow...

I know, like most people, that Scotland is part of Great Britain, that people there used to wear and sometimes still do wear kilts, and that the two major cities are Edinburgh and Glasgow. I also know that Scotland is a very mysterious country ...

I always knew that someday I would visit Scotland. Now that time is finally here. In July I will travel to Scotland with my mother and my Uncle Denis, the man who started all this! I know that with a little research, I'll be able to make our trip perfect.
