My car bears an English identifier, having been registered in Reading. Any talk of picking out English reg numbers for whatever reason is pointless.
Welcome in the Scottish Highlands & Islands ? Or not ?

There is a big issue every year in the usual hotspots. At the end of the day, your own experience tells you what the real situation is.

It is not the viability of "picking out of English Reg Numbers", but, rather the mentality which makes such an action acceptable/desireable, which makes me want to dis-associate myself with it.

The chances of you meeting anybody who shares that mentality is extremely remote. I don't know who you think would consider it acceptable/desirable, certainly not me nor anyone I know. Don't be tricked by a couple of numpties writing bollocks to a paper.
About an hour ago I was out on a walk and got chatting to an English couple stopped in a layby to enjoy a view of Ben Nevis. They were ten days into a three week tour of Scotland, having driven their Hymer camper van all the way from Cambridge. I asked him how he'd found the welcome and he said they'd had nothing but warmth and hospitality. I mean, what does he expect, coming up here and spending his money supporting shops and tourism.

I live only about 60 miles South of the border (with Scotland). We used to be frequent visitors.
Maybe I am over sensitive.

We can't lie, even in a small country like ours, we do have a couple of eejits.
If only they were so few
Sadly, eejits, are known in most Countries, in my experience

I'll bet you the vast majority, if not every single one of them, is Scottish.

They almost certainly are. There are 32 houses in this estate and 2 of them were on that road 2 weeks ago in camper Van's with the family.
I honestly don't blame them, but unfortunately it does need controlled, which obviously spoils it for the hardy perennial wild campers. Although to be fair, they are not normally found at the road side.
