Following on from discussion on another thread - could we have a Scottish section, please?

The local information is good, but it is too local to apply to the whole of Scotland, if you see what I mean.

Morgan McVeighs near Huntly do a fab scone (and chocolate cracknel).

Oh, I like 'Scots' Corner' too if I may so bold as express an opinion as I am a. not Scottihs and b. not British, but have gone native after 22 years here

and couldn't figure out how to do a Scottish smile

LaurieFairyCake · 27/03/2015 19:25

Aye

"Bloody Jock" is less a term of endearment Grin

PacificDogwood · 27/03/2015 19:28

'Jock' is a bloody great name for a dog Grin

KatieScarlettreregged · 27/03/2015 19:29

Being Scottish is a state of mind Pacific so guan yersel hen

PacificDogwood · 27/03/2015 19:30

Ta, hen Grin

SirChenjin · 27/03/2015 19:33

I always thought you were a Jockess born and bred Pacific - where are you from?

Mrsjayy · 27/03/2015 19:34

We nearly adopted a dog from dogs trust called Jock he was a grumpy little terrier he hated Dh though i was dithering for a minute husband/jock/husband/jock Grin

Binkleflip · 27/03/2015 19:34

big naws to Jock, Scots/Scotch corner, Alba, Quine, Kelpie, Morrigan etc etc otherwise you may as well call it dollsnet and be done with (cue webcrazed misunderstandings). It needs to be Scotland so the non scots know what the point is too or the confusion will just worsen!

PacificDogwood · 27/03/2015 19:37

Germany, SirChen, but have spent more of my adult life here than in Germany. This is my home. Even if I still hold a German passport….

I had to go look up 'Quine' and 'Morrigan' btw. Blush

Pacific just write tbsmile and put these brackets [ ] around it. And so on.

Smile Grin Hmm Wink Shock Confused

funnyossity · 27/03/2015 19:41

Hensnet wouldn't cut it then.Wink

I think Scot's Corner would be decipherable.

BarrowlandBiddy · 27/03/2015 19:42

Grin Yaaay!
Thank you from me too Seneca.

Does TB stand for tartan bunnet?

giraffesNeedBigPoloNecks · 27/03/2015 19:45

I love it when people from Scotland are accused of being trolls because it is a school holiday here when it is not in England or because have been at ASDA at 11pm on a Sunday when elsewhere they may be shut! Grin

PacificDogwood · 27/03/2015 19:53
Smile Thank you! Grin
Mrsjayy · 27/03/2015 20:06

SirChenjin · 27/03/2015 23:45

Scots Corner seems like a good choice, or MNScotland -bawsnet/maswnet/bamsnet etc don't seem to be that popular thank fuck

ssd · 27/03/2015 23:53
