Scottish Government

I had swam into the hidden undersea cave that contained my human clothing. Last evening I’d had a vision; I would find my lifemate in the area above the sea caves. I needed to find her as my vision of the woman, was too strong to disregard. She’d been a well-built sturdy young Scot lass with sparkling green eyes and long dark auburn hair which flows to her waist. I had seen her in my dream, dancing at the local Highland Gathering. The young woman of my dream was my destiny. My name’s…

Scottish politicians have the idea of keeping the pound as a…

The effect of the Republic of Congo's Government was relatively positive on Berthe's life chances up until 1997.

Berthe was an educated woman, a nurse, and from a wealthy family – her mother owning her own pharmacy. From this, I gather that the economic state of affairs and…
