[QUOTE 4943385, member: 9609"]Yes, I think this is where its at, you really need to get north of the Glasgow Edinburgh line, best just to keep your foot flat to the matt when heading north from newcastle - nothing worth while to see or do for a good 100 mile.[/QUOTE]

Galloway and South Ayrshire is lovely.

Why I said near it, the mainland is nicer.

When true Scots refer to 'Mainland' they mean Shetland.

Some excellent inventions have originated in Scotland. Irn Bru, Jimmy Krankie, the Glasgow Socket Set to name but 3. Makes me proud to own half an acre of Scotland.

Keep it to ourselves though; and let the tourists go and ruin Fort William, Loch Ness, and Skye.

Absolutely! I shouldn't really have let CC in on the secret.

My phone understates brightness.

Some welcome flatness after a loop from Perth, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry. What a treat.

If you don't mind please keep it that way

Might have to get a few more Bens in the bag.

You can't ruin Fort William. The (lack of) planners are quite good at that already. Unless they've actually managed to pass an improvement scheme recently instead of bickering about it while everyone else pulls out.

Irn Bru, Jimmy Krankie.

Neither of those qualify.

I haven't read all this thread but... all you Scotland-bashers, please, just stay away. More peace and quiet for those of us who love it!

To be fair, there hasn't been much bashing going on. Even that London-centric fella @Markymark almost conceded that he likes Scotland . I will therefore admit that I quite enjoy the occasional visit to London, and other bits of England, but it's always good to see the St. Andrews cross when you cross the border at Gretna .

Midges.

Have we had that yet?

There are far less people in Scotland with dementia

It's almost, and I stress almost mind, that some on here may exaggerate for comic effect. The fact it annoys some us just a bonus.

 

[Crackle]

Shouldn't that be 'fewer'?

I've always viewed the Scots as a collective mass

Sorry Crax, I'm waiting to see the dentist and am feeling irritable.

There are fewer dentists in Scotland!
