Athol and Sawney Tale Reflects National Pride
In a roaming tale by Mr Oakman a witty traveller praises Athol as divine while contrasting it with England. Sawney, touring Scotland, extols Athol’s gardens and towers. The dialogue pivots on homeland attachment, ending with the refrain that every nation loves its own country as the best, England included.
