I am an enthusiastic traveler who loves to visit and explore new lands and places. One of these trips took me to Scotland. As soon as I stepped over the border, I was immediately smitten by the majestic beauty of this land and overwhelmed entirely by the Scottish Highlands. Every landmark that I saw seemed to talk to me with the faint whispery voice and excited my imagination. My stories convey the feelings that I have for this ancient land, its people, their history, and whose glory they celebrate.
