RAVE REVIEW

I have enjoyed reading Scottish Field for many years courtesy of receiving the annual subscription as a Christmas present from the family. A few years ago I thought the magazine was becoming a bit ‘tired’ and welcomed the editorial review of content to which the readership contributed. Particularly welcome was the development of articles from columnists giving insights into different facets of life in Scotland.

This has reached new highs with contributions from Alex Massie and, particularly, Alexander McCall Smith. His article in the September edition, on ‘Solstice thoughts’, reminded us how rich life is in Scotland, despite the bleakness of the immediate political landscape – he is undoubtedly a true National Treasure.
