Country of the Clans and Glens

Scotland, rich in pride Braw mountainous scenery Stands proud and salutes Saltire shares the wind Tartan Highlanders kilted Kingdom of the clans

James, This is a beautiful poem. My love is from Norway and also has great adoration for his homeland and the surrounding countries in Europe. Ingrid still has that charming Norwegian accent. Now, I'm wondering what you sound like? Do you have a Scottish brogue? I do love accents. I don't know why, but it seems so charming to me. Lovingly, Dane

"Saltire shares the wind"; lovely phrase. You've created a wonderful tribute here! I'm inspired. Blessings, Donna
