  SCOTLAND image “The apparel oft proclaims the man.”—Hamlet. A mountainous, peaty region in the northern part of Great Britain. The Dew distilled from the Scotch mountains, flavoured with the peat of the valleys is highly prized by the natives, not only of Scotland but of all the English speaking countries of this Giddy Globe. The inhabitants are a tall, barb-wiry, music-loving, pious and joke-fearing race, fond of loud plaids and still Lauder songs. Their tall spare frames have given rise to the term Bony (or Bonny) Scotland, supposed by some to be derived from “Bonnet,” the national headgear. The inhabitants of Scotland are the most Moral and Patriotic people in the World, and their army is second to none in bravery and won the World War. image |
