How to Enjoy a Scottish Motoring Holiday
No one could have had greater. reason-for liking Scotland than Walter Hagen, the American golfer, who at Muirfield recently secured the Open Golf Championship for the fourth time. Yet Hagen is alleged- to have passed a remark which shows him not to be really appreciative 'of the country's attractions. He is stated to have said- that he considered Scotland a gloomy place on Sunday. Unfortunately, I have lcnown many -people to :think as Walter Hagen has thought. I could go further and say that I-have:known people go to Scotland for their holidays whose temperament should never allow them to stray from Blackpool or Brighton. Before I attempt to offer suggestions for a Scottish holiday, let me emphasize, then, that the paramount object of such a holiday must be to see and to study one of the most beautiful countries on earth. There is only one other important reason for going to Scotland—and that is for the iiurpose of sport : fishing, shooting, golf. A devotee of either of these pastimes-knows beforehand that he is not going to find Scotland " gloomy" owing to the strict observance of the Sabbath.
