Just cos I love Scotland.

The banter

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

I got married in Scotland. :o thinks it's one of the most beautiful places in the world.

It doesn't matter where you go in the world you'll always meet a Fifer!

Having said that Edinburgh will always be home to me - but that's another story :)

Anyone mention the Proclaimers?

love the proclaimers
fife finest
and finley quaye

The fact that weddings have ceilidhs which is so much better than god-awful discos.

The One O'clock Gun

Being asked what time the One O'clock Gun goes off

Real Radio wind up with Hector Brocklebank

Wee Paulo Nuttini, loved him doing the Burns song "a man's a man" on phone so can't do link but it's one of my fav's.
Also liked how the Proclaimers song was in Shrek.

The Western Isles, especially the beaches on the west coast of Harris
Doing strip the willow at a ceilidh and ending up in A+E
White pudding suppers
Oor Wullie and the Broons
Telling people "Ah'm fae Paisley" in a vaguely threatening way
Perth town centre, in fact all of Perth, I just moved here and it's fab
Lack of Tories
Fisher and Donaldson, particularly being able to buy their coffee towers at Ninewells Hospital during a busy day on call
Scottish tablet ice cream from that shop in St Andrews
Decent education system
Phrases like "gaun stick yer bum oot the windae"
Men in kilts especially my hot husband
House buying/selling process is much simpler than in England
Sitting beside the river in Dunkeld during my lunch break
Scotland the What
Shortbread

The Black Watch play was also utterly amazing, if they tour again try and see it if not already.

Oh and watching everyone check their watch when the gun goes off.....and yes I do it too

Belted Galloway cattle - just the best!
The wildlife - I'm just back from Mull and saw sea eagles, red deer and sea otters without trying.
