Only a few visited Scotland in winter when the storm was raging and cold. It's cold and dark that you can't imagine from the beauty of summer. I think because of the beautiful summer, it may be possible to overcome this harsh winter. Scotland is far. However, I was very strange feelings of the nostalgia of this place that was not my hometown. What's it that fosters people's minds? If there's a hometown in the feeling of nostalgia, where's it? The people I met were all kind, and sometimes the warmth of their hospitality made my eyes warm. People are quietly waiting for spring to come with hope.
