I come from a family of rovers. For generations, my family has sought their fortunes in the far-flung corners of the world, rarely settling anywhere near where they were born or raised.
This is trait inherent in those of Scottish descent, who for centuries left the hills and dales of Caledonia to wander the world.
Whether they were mercenaries fighting with the armies of Europe, explorers in the New World, missionaries to the Far East, or merchant seamen who sailed the world's oceans to strange and distant lands, the Scots have always followed the lure of the unknown, always wanting to see what's over the next mountain or beyond the horizon.
Indeed, the rovin' dies hard.
"The Rovin' Dies Hard" by The Battlefield Band, from their 1987 album "Celtic Hotel".
