June 24 is a wonderful, albeit a little paradoxical, holiday - Scotland's Independence Day! Having been a part of Great Britain for several hundred years, the Scots honor and celebrate it cheerfully. It was our duty to join the celebration because we all love Scotland and Scotch whisky!

We drank whisky, born in Aberfeldy, about which the most Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote almost like this:

Let fortune's gifts at random flee,
They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me,
Supremely blest wi' love and thee,
In the Birks of Aberfeldy.
