Anthony Baxter who filmed this movie could not release it before
2016 because Trump threatened to sue him. Scottish knew
Trump is an evil-minded crook then.

Jim McGill, Steve Berriane, and Mike Eccles are good friends of mine and Scottish Americans.
About 15 years ago, I traveled to Scotland and Ireland to play golf with Dr. Steve Berriane for
two weeks. My impression of Scottish was that they are simple, honest, and straightforward.
They are opposite to Trump's character. I was surprised to find out these Scottish Americans
are still attached to their motherland. Dr. Robert Burns who was a retired orthopedic surgeon
in town, an avid golfer, and a member of my CC. He is a Scottish American. When he heard that
I was going to Scotland to play golf, he came to me and explained how the game of the golf
was created by Scottish enthusiastically. It is mind-boggling to find out how badly Trump
treated these people.

They all certainly sound like Scotch-Irish name to me, Dr. Ohn, with no doubt. Indeed, I heard the number of Americans of Scottish descent is now reaching close to 30 million; they seem to have scattered all over the country now although initially settled predominantly in New England and then New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North Carolina along Appalachia, through the Eastern seaboard. However, the majority of Scotch-Irish Americans were originally from Lowland Scotland and Northern England although they immigrated to North America as the descendent of Ulster Protestants during the eighteenth century as Presbyterians to escape from the Church of England's control. Interestingly, Highlanders were also pushed out by the Brit plantation to make massive immigration to North America to escape from the poverty; I heard such painful history of Highlanders more vividly through my travel to Isle of Lokalsh-Inner Hebrides in early '90 including such sad story of 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' I am sure you all heard.

Dr. Jim Hoyt is a plastic surgeon and avid golfer in town. He is a Presbyterian
and Scottish American. One day, he told me his grandfather pioneered
surgery at Dongsan hospital in Taegu Korea in late 1800's. About 12 years ago, I visited
the hospital while vacationing in Korea and traced his grandfather's legacy.
I brought back a lot of pictures and record of his footsteps. The hospital kept his room
where he lived and instruments that he used very nicely. Korea has more Presbyterians
than America and a lot of Scottish Americans are Presbyterians.

How interesting, Dr. Ohn! Yes, I am familiar with Taegu Dongsan Hospital since we lived nearby during the Korean War. Indeed, Dongsan Hospital was the only advanced Western style private hospital at Taegu in those days and later it became the base of new medical school/Keimyung University to become the leading group together with KyungBook Nat Univ Hosp throughout KyungSangdo. But I didn't know they also had such heavy involvement by Presbyterian missionaries, other than Dr. Adams(?) - I believe they have one museum for him!- from the States. Indeed, because of legendary Dr. Paul Crane of 전주예수병원, we all know Presbyterian missionaries were heavily involved to 전라도 but not much to other part of the country.
It certainly is small world after all!

More you look into this mother fucker's behavior, more appalled to learn how harmful his evil mind built on 4-year-old child brain is, hurting not only innocent people but also nature!!! Feel so sad to see such a monster still walk around in one piece on the surface of the earth, God forbids!!!
Another four years- perhaps I might be gone then, though!-????????
Sadly,

P.S. Anyhow, I enjoyed such scenic view along with Aberdeen which reminds me of my trip to the Isle of Skye, out to the Hebrides, of NorthWestern Part of Scotland thirty years ago, leaving a vivid memory of their unique nature, I bet many of you already enjoyed like me including Scottish pudding. Indeed, I originally planned to detour through Aberdeen/NorthEast Scotland from Inverness on way back from Kyle of Lochalsh to Edinburgh but the reserved car with automatic gear was not available so that we had to take the ScotRail instead so that I missed this Aberdeen- I have one close friend at St. Mary Hospital, London, who was born in Aberdeen so that I heard of such unique place along the North Sea together with Shetland- though we bought famous Shetland wool sweaters as a souvenir.
