Quotes:
"Stirling is the twin brother of Edinburgh. I am sure that every writer on Scotland has already called this town the 'sister' of Edinburgh; but I cannot feminize these grizzled old sinners who sit up on their hills like robber barons with swords across their knees."
-- In Search of Scotland
H.V. Morton
