Welcome to the Scottish Culture site. I'm so glad you decided to visit and I hope you make this site a regular stop on your travels. What qualifies me to be the editor of this site? Well, I was born in Scotland, Oban to be exact. My great-grandmother was a Campbell. I left Scotland when I was twelve-years-old when my parents decided we were moving to Canada. I do have a lot of family still in Scotland and I am very proud of my heritage. I hope to show fellow Scots, current residents and expatriates, all the reasons why we should be proud of our Scottish heritage, and to show those who are not Scottish the great contributions that the Scottish race has made to the world. Mike Myers statement that "if it's not Scottish, it's crap!" may not be totally true, but it's close!

This site covers all aspects of Scottish culture and life. You will find articles about historic buildings, famous Scottish writers, traveling within Scotland, Scottish sports, Scottish heroes and much, much more. So please come back often to see what is new and exciting. You might just learn something new! I plan to add one new article a week to the site. Please also register on our forum to get in on some interesting discussions with like-minded people.
