A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea.
Catherine Helen Spence

All was well, until I reached the port of Havre. Three officers with the rank of lieutenant, whom afterwards I knew to be Scotland Yard men, came aboard and demanded to see my papers which they took away from me.
Philip Gibbs

But I fear, my lot being cast in Scotland, that beauty would not be content.
Anne Boyd

I fell in love with Scotland and made good friends here, so I stayed after graduating with Honours in Chemistry.
Steve Blake

I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.
Loretta Lynn

I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but to join the Navy, having left school at 13.
Sean Connery

I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.
Sydney Smith

I met Jack Bruce, one of my heroes, in a studio while doing some recording. England had just beat Scotland in a big football match and I saw Jack trying to break into this refrigerator in the lounge, drunk out of his brain, and I didn't know what to say.
Andy Partridge

I perceive two things in Scotland of the most fearful omen: ignorance of theological truth, and a readiness to pride themselves in and boast of it.
Edward Irving

I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.
Norman Wisdom

I'm William Wallace, and the rest of you will be spared. Go back to England and tell them... Scotland is free!
William Wallace

I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
Ewan McGregor

Iceland, though it lies so far to the north that it is partly within the Arctic Circle, is, like Norway, Scotland, and Ireland, affected by the Gulf Stream, so that considerable portions of it are quite habitable.
Harry Johnston

It has long been a fact familiar to geologists, that, both on the east and west coasts of the central part of Scotland, there are lines of raised beaches, containing marine shells of the same species as those now inhabiting the neighbouring sea.
Charles Lyell

It is time we in Scotland put England in its proper place and instead of our leaning on England and taking inspiration from her, we should lean and turn to Europe, for it is there our future prosperity lies.
Hugh MacDiarmid

It's different in Scotland. People who come to readings are more interested in literature as such, but the readership in general is really quite diverse. It's a cliche, but it's said that people who read my books don't read any other books, and you do get that element.
Irvine Welsh

James's expedition to Scotland is wholly imaginary, though there appears to have been space for it during Henry's progress to the North to pay his devotions at Beverley Minster.
Charlotte Mary Yonge

My mother's background was Scottish. She came from an old family, some of whom lived in upper New York State and some of whom had come over from Scotland.
Alan Hovhaness

My parents were both from Scotland, but had been resident in Lower Canada some time before their marriage, which took place in Montreal; and in that city I spent most of my life.
Maria Monk

My place in Scotland is in the middle of nowhere, so you've just got a keyboard, guitar, a little drum machine and you know if you can work stuff out like that, if you can hammer out songs that sound good just with those three things and a voice, you're on your way.
