Scotland is beautiful, we've visited a few times and love it - also love me porridge every morning, too.

Cranberry, it is a beautiful place. I suppose everyone loves where they come from. I never stop admiring Scotland and there's always new places to go. My plan next year is to go to Skye, where my great, great, great grandfather was a shepherd. Also The Isle of Mull

Re: The greatest place on earth

Yes, you are so lucky - at least you appreciate it. We've been all around the Scottish Borders then the East coast but have yet to visit the west of Scotland. I just love all the small towns and villages.
We first visited around 20 yrs ago, the last time we came up we went to Braemar and I saw my first red squirrel, so chuffed, never thought I'd see one.

I love Scotland too. I worked for a short while in Coldstream and would have moved to the Borders if the right job had come up.
Cranberry - red squirrels are so cute, but in the US they are considered awful vermin because the make nests in the insulation of the houses and destroy loads of stuff!

I've yet to see a red squirrel. Plenty of cheeky grey ones though. I've been to Coldstream.

I have to say that I've also been to beautiful places in England, Ireland and Wales.

It was a magical place for me I was pregnant with our son and we had a wonderful time walking with the dog.
That was 36 years ago and I remember it all so clearly right down to the grilled trout and blackberry mousse we had for lunch in a hotel on the The Isle of Seil reached by a hump back 'bridge over the Atlantic'.
