Brilliant things about Scotland

[JennyPiccolo]

Just cos I love Scotland.

The banter
Irn bru
Men who look like they grew out of the ground
How everyone sees going out and having a good time as some kind of fundamental human right
Edinburgh fringe festival
The barrowlands ballroom
Whisky

Deacon Blue
tattie scones
clootie dumpling
proper rolls!
The scenery
NOT the midges
my family
Celebrating whether we win or lose...

I'm homesick now

The one pound note - still legal tender here
The snow
The space
Humour
Friendliness of folk

Patriotism
Accent
Humour
Edinburgh - definitely
All the wee islands
Kilts
Way everyone seems to know everyone!! Within reason!

Kilts - especially at weddings. A groom wearing a suit just looks odd to me. Nothing beats a kilt.
Sense of humour and being able to laugh at ourselves.
Water
Free prescriptions and no uni fees
Irn Bru

Men in kilts. Am detecting a theme.....

Just joining in the love for all things Scottish. :-)

I love the East Neuk, all the lovely beaches and wee fishing villages, not forgetting the best chippy in the world at Anstruther.

Just love Edinburgh, the whole city, the view from Arthurs seat, the Scottish parliament building, think you either love it or loathe it, everyone should do the tour of it as the inside is amazing.

Macaroon bars & tablet, yum

I'm in exile in East Anglia and the stuff I miss most:

Irn Bru in glass bottles
Buchaille Etive Mor
The Jolly Judge
Cally 80
Coffee Shop Appreciation Days in Edinburgh
Alien Rock (no decent climbing walls where I live now :( )
The Autumn Internationals at Murrayfield - and the cheapo tickets
Living in Edinburgh
Feeling at home

Interesting that so many folks are saying Fife and the East Neuk - I spent my teenage years itching to get out, left at 17 and haven't been back for years. Maybe it's nicer when you didn't grow up there?

Men in kilts, esp if they are 'true scotsmen'.
Chips and cheese
Scottish breakfasts with fried dumpling
Deserted beaches
Tenement windows
Rennie Mackintosh architecture
Cheap husing
Highland games
The late light nights in June
The deer in the fields
Loch fishing
The golf courses
The lack of bnp types
Going to uni at 17
Childrens hearings system

Looking out the window right now at the mist covered hills which have never changed during thousands of years.

cripsy morning rolls
fried tattie scones
auld wifies
sense of humour
irn bru
lack of fawining to famous types
the barras
the pubs

Has anyone said the wildlife? The wildlife. Seals, dolphins, whales, otters, golden eagles, sea eagles, ospreys, pine martens, red squirrels......you're so lucky up there I could weep with envy!

The beaches and islands.

Tablet. Has anyone said tablet?

Now can we start one about Wales?

I sense another Fifer thread takeover happening, like the juice or pop one a few weeks ago ;-). (says PPP, looking out at a very dreich Fife)

Ceilidhs as default at weddings.

The beach at Culzean Castle.

The fact that we can be proud of our nationality.

Men in kilts - swoon.
