I'm too young to remember the history of the battles between England and Scotland and don't read much; (75 this year!) but I got a sense of the rugged beauty of Scotland in your essay(novel LOL) especially when reading about Black Agnes. Love all the historic notes in your quilt too.
You're right RW is of course DW. My first degree is History with the Scottish Wars of Independence as my area of special interest. It's a fascinating time in our past. I just noticed your location which is just a few mins away from St James where I'm staying with my daughter. Such a small world.
