Saundra, a bonnie wee lass from Scotland is your tour guide!

“Welcome to my country of Scotland. My name is SAUNDRA and I am Scottish. My Mum and Dad are Scottish as well. Dad plays the bagpipes in a pipe band and they own a smal shop that sells tartan kilts, berets, sashes and covers for bagpipe bags. Mum creates all our merchandise on her sewing machine as she’s a very talented seam-stress.

I love Highland dancing and have danced in many local competitions, wearing my kilt while I dance. The tartan on my kilt has a history that goes back many generations in our family. I love listening to my grandmother tell stories about life back then – battles between clans on the rugged moors, brave men and women – and how we won our freedom as a nation. Have you heard of heroes like Robert the Bruce and William Wallace?

HEY THERE TRAVELER!! Are you ready for your adventure in Scotland? Aye, we’re gonna have a great time because, as you’ll soon see, this country is filled with mystery!
