I was born in Motherwell, Lanarkshire in 1941. I emigrated to Canada with my wife and two young sons in 1966. Life has been good to me here, and I have help many successful executive job positions. I own a beautiful home, have two new vehicles, two sons, two daughters who were born in Canada,and eight grandchildren who were born here also.
Life really could not be much better but I am still torn between the two countries, and naturally, I still remember Scotland as it was when I was growing up. I visit my homeland regularly, and when there, never want to leave. However, my children, and grandchildren know only life as it is in Canada, as Canada is their homeland, so I have to return. There are times though when I wish I had never made the decision to leave Scotland, even though it is now a different place from what I remember as a boy. The want, and cravings within me to return to my native land gets overwhelming at times, and I doubt very much that there is never a day that passes without me having thoughts about Scotland. I miss the auld country very much.
