I am proud of
1. Dougie McLean - he lives 12 miles from where I stay and we go to his music bar for folk nights.
2. Whisky - the water of life.
3. Cairn O'Mohr - local wine... (and they say we Scots have a drink problem)
4. Hogmanay - are you sheeing a pattern -hic?
5. Our scenery is stunning.
I am shamed by

Favourite Scottish song is as above or a Corrie's song
Favourite film is Local hero
Favourite food is local Perthshire rasps in a Crannachan

3. Whisky - any distillery!
4. Scottish education
5. The weather

Holyrood
See you Jimmy Hats (thought I was the only one, Solas)

Song? Theres so many - don't know where to start! I listen to them every day when I'm with clients.
Film? Don't go to the flicks, so don't know any off hand.
Food? Deep fried mars bars....... (actually, no, it has to be wild scottish salmon, served at Potties near Aboyne)

Historian,

Black Bun ?? I thought I was the only person who loved it .... everyone else I know can't stand the stuff ..... just as well it only appears at New Year !!!! 😉

Oh and the Anti Irish rubbish (just for the record) works both ways in Scotland .... and they all should be ashamed of themselves !!! Spoken as a Scot !!!

My favourite thing to eat in Scotland and the thing I miss the most .... ok, weird perhaps ... a fish supper out of Joes Chip Shop, Cowdenbeath !! Heaven !!! 😉

Hell, W124 are you sure you ain't me:p

I love red hair (A tad red myself, though getting greyer by the day. Had a few hot relationships with gingernuts;))

Guess we must be the same age re The Associates (shame about Billy McKenzie RIP) unless you are into retro.

Hate neds and violence and love oatcakes and porridge and am only a few miles from Tunnocks factory.

My only difference is the film.

I liked Shallow Grave:).
