BEFORE I returned to live in Scotland on January 1, 2001, a friend asked me, “Why do you want to live in Scotland?” I thought about it before I answered. “Because of the way people speak there,” I said.

That reply begs many questions but I could elaborate simply by saying I meant not only voices but the music of the country, the acoustics, what you can hear in this nation, if you open your ears.
