Over the next few posts I will quote the carefully considered thoughts of Scotland's new minister for arts and culture, Mike Russell, on his homeland.
On ABERDEEN Mr Russell says:
"It feels no more hospitable than when I first came here – there is still a snell wind that blows through the town, and dark corners by the harbour that make passers-by walk more quickly." Scots know Doric ... It is hard ... to penetrate it at times, but is has a lilt – and a bluntness – all of its own."
