one's native heath

one's native heath
родная земля, родные места, родина [выражение создано В. Скоттом; см. цитату]

Speak out, sir, and do not Maister or Campbell me - my foot is on my native heath and my name is MacGregor. (W. Scott, ‘Rob Roy’, ch. XXXIV) — Говорите все напрямик и не зовите меня ни мистером, ни Кэмпбеллом; я на своей родной земле и имя мое - Мак-Грегор.

This led our discourse naturally into the realms of entertainment and the arts, our Caledonian friend contributing a spirited defence of the traditional songs and dances of his native heath. (J. Wain, ‘The Contenders’, ch. XII) — Это, разумеется, завело нашу беседу в область искусства и развлечений, и наш друг из Шотландии стал вдохновенно защищать национальные песни и танцы своей родины.
