Letter from Denmark: Exile

“The police were here today,” my London landlady said. “They wanted to see you and Liam.” “The police?” “It’s okay. When we told them you were Scottish they said they didn’t need to speak to you.” It was early in the most violent year of ‘The Troubles’ – 1972. I’d just turned 16 and wasContinue reading “Letter from Denmark: Exile”

Letter from Denmark: Constitutioune

The Fifth of June is a bank holiday in Denmark. It’s also one of those many ‘flag days’ when the buses have two small ‘Dannebrog’ on them.

For most countries aContinue reading “Letter from Denmark: Constitutioune”

It wasn’t Danish, it was ‘Føroysk’ — Faroese. Maja was my first meaningful contact with the Faroe Islands. She was much further fromContinue reading “Faroese Friends”

Letter from Denmark: Torchlight Procession

There’s a sea of flame gathering in the twilight. It started with only one torch, but each newly lit passes the flame to two or three others. Soon we are legion.

Letter from Denmark: Cannonballs, Kingdoms and Unions

‘Raadmand Davids Hus’ is one of the oldest and best conserved houses in Helsingør. It was built by David Mellvin, a second-generation Scottish exile in 1694. He was a high-standing member of the city administration. Today his house is a cosy lunch cafe — and I’m here with my own second generation Scottish exile. It’sContinue reading “Letter from Denmark: Cannonballs, Kingdoms and Unions”

Letter from Denmark: The Dubliner

“Hey, it’s Gus here, you called?” The voice is unmistakably Scottish. “Aye, we’re showing the game by the bar,” he tells me. I hadn’t actually left a message, but Gus returned my call within five minutes. After weeks of SNP leadership drama and various work deadlines, I needed tae get oot the hoose, as it were. LivingContinue reading “Letter from Denmark: The Dubliner”
