From Scotland to the World


this amber liquid, life’s-blood
stirs the heart:
where freedom sings, duty-free
(duty-boud)
we bind
Scotland to the world
and back again

Anne Macleod, from Present Poets 2: Scotland to the World to Scotland (NMS Publishing Ltd, 1999)
The Scottish Poetry Library would love to know which poems remind you of Scotland.
