Quotes:"No human communities, except perhaps the hill towns of Tuscany, are so fortunate as the cities and towns of Scotland in their suroundings. That is the virtue of a turbulent youth. Peaceful and law-abiding countries build their towns in sheltered places; wild countries fly to the protection of hills. Now that the savage seas have ebbed, these cities of Scotland are left like great arks stranded magnificently on their Ararats. "
-- In Search of Scotland
