The problem with Scotland, is that it's full of Scots. :D

Oy!

hmmm, and so is every other country now [img]tongue.gif[/img] , I happen to know alot of Scots, my brother-in -law is scot..oh wait you mean the country...never mind

My boyfriend's been living there for half a year, and he had splendid weather! :D Not a lot of rain, quite some sunshine, and a beautiful layer of snow covering everything in the winter. He went from September till February and mostly the weather was better than over here.
I visited Scotland 4 times now, seen the area east and south of Glasgow (Ayr) and Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling. Still want to go up to Inverness some time, but I gave my boyfriend a short break to Scotland for his birthday (we're going in Feb) so we might do that then.
Oh, and there's still a fair chance we might both move therre for at least a few years - he to do his PhD, I to do an MA and possibly also a PhD there...

As for your question - what do you want to know that you cannot find on Google? Personal tales of what it's like to live there? Clarify! [img]smile.gif[/img]

A small but important point. It's the Irish that have whiskey, the Scots have whisky!

Bloody pedantry will be the death of me! ;)

It will be the cessation of sufficient biological functions required to sustain life that will be the death of you, not pedantry [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

If you have a spare 2 weeks, go on "west highland way" treck in spring. I did it in 8 days if i am not mistaken. it is a good journey. But! Beware of the flying -annouying- biting -blood -sucking bugs. Mites or whatevertheyarecalled. They ate me! grrrr :angry

LOL, thank you Fred!! If it weren't for you, my reputation as a pedant would be much worse than it already is. I was actually hoping you'd come along to correct the whisky error, since I think I exceeded my quotum of nitpicks this month. :D
BTW - you get double points for correcting a fellow pedant (lead-led), so better be careful now! ;)
