Scottish Highlands

Ever since we could write, humanity wrote tales and legends of mythical beasts and creatures. From ancient Greek myths to more modern monsters like Bigfoot, we’ve always had this curiosity for the unknown. In the Scottish highlands, in a massive lake called Loch Ness, a creature has been the target of investigations, searches, and hoaxes. This, of course, is the famed Loch Ness monster. Called “Nessie” by some, the beast could be a variation of a classic sea serpent story. Or, as some think, the…

back in time is also demonstrated through the differences between the novel’s two romantic love interests. Rose is introduced by her full title of “Miss Rose Bradwardine” (Scott 41) whereas Flora is “The Chieftain’s Sister” equating her to the old highland traditions.

The death toll was frequently exacerbated by cultures laying weight on a male strength in arms and a willingness to demonstrate it". Though he may not realize it, Candide…

When comparing the book and film versions of The Thirty Nine Steps, there are many similarities in plot and theme, but differences in gender and specific details of the film. In my opinion, women and gender becomes a substantial theme when comparing the book and film versions. Hitchcock directed and got the idea to adapt the book version, written by John Buchan, into a movie. Hitchcock recalled reading the book as a teenager and found the action, mystery, and suspense of the book interesting and…

Hand stripping is the best way to achieve the best results however is rare and usually performed on show dogs as this takes a lot of time and hence will be expensive. Removing a complete coat by hand will of course take hours.
