“His dream shattered; the dream to settle on the west coast of Scotland near Campbeltown or Stewart - part of his ancestry. With YES, one could then equate Scotland with Switzerland, untouchable but without the greed and false creed of the latter. Idyllic to settle and write, play some golf in summer with those Scots, and close enough to his daughter and granddaughters in England. Hopefully, mind you, maybe only a hope; make enough money writing to visit his children in South Africa and Australia; the latter a chance of a game of golf with Cate.”
