A Selection of Highly Recommended Scottish Blogs For Your Delectation

Long, long ago I placed a “blog roll” on the side of this page listing blogs I liked and which I thought would be worth visiting.

Quite sensibly none of them are as prolific and verbose as I am, so rather than make them daily visits, if you popped on every week or so, then I am sure that you will enjoy what has been added to each site that week.
