Editor Kerry Dexter: Colors of sunrise in the Western Isles, watching evening fall at the foot of Ben Nevis, feeling the hand of history face to face with the Lewis Chessmen at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, the quiet streets walking home after a late night singing session in Glasgow: these are a few of the things which form Kerry Dexter’s connections with Scotland. She is a writer, editor, and educator with academic and professional background in arts, humanities, and history.
Her work includes stories and photography which have appeared in National Geographic Traveler, Strings, Symphony, and Perceptive Travel, and at her own site Music Road.
