Sorry it took so long to reply but I haven't visited in ages! I too am spanish, my parents are from Burgos, although I have family in Bilbao, Barcelona, Murcia and France too! I was born in Southport, England, but now live with my wife in Dundee, Scotland as many of the long-timers know. Obviously I speak spanish and I studied french and german at school, many years ago so I am very rusty. I tried to study Japanese but found it difficult to master, but I intend to try again. Can't say I know why so few Southern Europeans visit here but can someone tell me why so many aussies do(no offence inteneded)?

Having worked in both Glasgow and Stirling I can tell you they are very different places. Glasgow is a busy city who's old and violent reputation has been left behind. Very good nightlife with lots of variation, intresting history and architecture and close to some beautiful scenery. However, I prefer Stirling as it is much smaller and yet still has a good nightlife and is very close to both Glasgow and Edinburgh and is surrounded by stunning countryside and was very important in Scottish history (have you seen Braveheart?). You might also consider St. Andrews, which is very popular with foreign students and for better or worse is the choice of Prince William. Obviously it depends on what you are studying as they each have their specialities. By the way your English is superb!
