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

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

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

avatar 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. :)
