"For Scots living in Scotland today, the idea of a society of exiledand ancestral Scots in another country conjures up varying images ofnostalgia and sentimentality for their homeland.

For emigrant and ancestral Scots around the world, Scottish societiesoffer a chance for like minded, passionate people to join together incelebrating past and contemporary Scotland.

Based on a series of lively interviews with members of Scottishsocieties, 'Wherever the Saltire Flies' charts a memeorable journey inthe ever evolving concept of Scottish identity. Providing genuinesupport and inspiration, these societies play a huge part in thepreservation of Scottish culture and the worldwide promotion ofScotland, and the people involved are as much a part of Scottishhistory as those living in Scotland."

I've read this book and it's quite amazing what's going on all over the world to
hook up Scots - keep up the good work. :)

I have read Wherever the Saltire Flies and Global Scots, both written by Kenny
Macaskill and Henry McLeish and would certainly recommend them as well.
