Kyrgyz on summer pastures.
From a Russian site devoted to the Taigan, the Kirghiz Borzoi.
-
The Borzoi - the Psovaya Borzaya or long-haired sighthound, and the Hortaya Borzaya or Chortaj - the short-haired sighthound, are of plausibly Scythian descent.
The Scythians, or their direct ancestors, could have been the first culture to ride the domesticated horse.
Sighthounds, dogs that hunt primarily by sight, include the Saluki, the Whippet, the Greyhound, the Irish Wolfhound, and the Scottish Deerhound.

"In 1998 the US Senate, following the Canadian precedent, passed a resolution declaring that 6 April was thenceforth to be celebrated as National Tartan Day, to honour "the major role that Scottish-Americans have played in the founding of this Nation".
The resolution cites the fact that almost half the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, that the governors of nine of the Thirteen States were of Scottish ancestry; "and that Scottish-Americans have successfully helped to shape this country in its formative years, thus guiding this Nation through its most troubled times."
"They chose that date because 'it has special significance for all Americans'," explains Scottish History Professor, Ted Cowan, keynote speaker at the Tartan Day Academic Symposium in Washington DC for the past three years. "That's because the Declaration of Arbroath, which proclaimed Scotland's independence, was signed on 6 April 1320. According to the US Senate, 'the American Declaration of Independence was modelled in part on that inspirational document'."

"...and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous..."

"The simplest case of a mistake was one I heard on the radio recently by an artist who had been brought into one of a series of programmes on numbers. In the one on the Golden Section he went on to describe the spiral in the Golden Section rectangle. This is not an easy thing to do on the radio."

December Night

The cold slope is standing in darkness
But the south of the trees is dry to the touch

The heavy limbs climb into the moonlight bearing feathers
I came to watch these
White plants older at night
The oldest
Come first to the ruins

And I hear magpies kept awake by the moon
The water flows through its
Own fingers without end

Tonight once more
I find a single prayer and it is not for men
