Home cannot be someplace you know second hand from reading. Simply put if you've never been there it ain't home.
This has been an interesting thread with a lot of good comments on both sides of the issue. Like many others on this site, I celebrate my Scottish ancestry. I also understand that I'm not 'going home' when I visit. But I do feel 'at home', especially in the west, in a way that I still don't feel at home in Utah despite having lived here for the last 25 years. The people I've met there have a lot to do with that feeling. I'd like to spend a lot more time there, but unfortunately that'll probably have to wait until after I retire.
