The Celtic Voice In Walter Scotts Waverley
1,128 wordsThe Celtic Voice in Walter Scott's 'Waverley' One aspect of this novel which may not have received its due attention is Scott's emphasis on the strength and vitality of traditional Scottish culture, especially folk poetry and music.

Scotland Pride Or Shame
976 wordsGazing round the streets of Glasgow at around one in the morning, I fill with shame. Police sirens scream in exasperation and drunken fights cloud my eyes. The smell of alcohol and stale cigarette smoke advances towards me, making the food in my stomach churn.
