My wife and I traveled to Scotland in May 2022. This book tells the story of that visit in a sequential narrative heavily fortified by many color photographs and supplemental background information gleaned from many sources encountered on our journey. We spent four days in North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland, and hired a personal guide for three of those days. His contributions enrich the story.

In 2014 I lived on $7,000. When I say “lived on,” I mean everything. That's even before taking the taxes out! Despite my income, my wardrobe and diet is organic.
