Quotes:
"Never for one minute can you feel unconscious of the wildness which lies beyond the gates of Perth . . . as you walk through grey stone streets, modern but still, in their skyline and their grim bulk, recalling a more ancient Perth, you smell a wind that comes sweet over miles of desolate heather." -- In Search of Scotland H.V.
