250th Anniversary of the publication of Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith!

Congratulations! Because of Adam Smith, I started knowing Scotland and got interested in economics as well as the modern philosophy including the enlightenment philosophy of his senior fellow David Hume!


Adam Smith is my hero who has attracted me to Scotland...! Since I read his Wealth of Nations, I have become so passionate about Scotland that I decided to study in Scotland! The individual property right is a fundamental of the economic liberalism! The big government undermining the general will of individuals eventually diverts our economy from the natural economic equilibrium which is the most feasible condition, and then misguides to the state of economic disturbance...! I really praise Adam Smith's theory which always points out what is right for economy when our economic freedom and general will are invaded by any sort of oppressors at any time period of our history...!

Arbroath, Scotland













Arbroath is a place in the East coast of Highland in Scotland. This is a wee small fishing village. However, this is a historically remarkable place. The declaration of independence was firstly written in 13th century. The declaration of independence in the USA is referred to this Scottish one when the US independence was declared. Furthermore, when Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his death in 1170, was assassinated, he was listed and praied as a Christian saint, and Arbroath Abbey nominates him as a saint of this Church institution.


Arbroath is famous for Smokies, the smoked fish, which is made of fish caught in local. This has a quite distinctive taste of fish, which offers us a natural taste of fresh fish with a unique taste of smokiness. This is the place where we can try a real taste of natural Scottish fish. Nonetheless, they no loger sell Fish&Chips made of the locally caught fish. This was a wee disappointing factor. But, Smokies are still made of the locally caught fish, and it is nice to eat such a traditional delicacy in a wee traditional Scottish village.
