My 50th bithday when I had my own piper playing "happy birthday" to me on the bag pipes. The piper went by the nickname of "spud".
We stayed in a hotel in Grant Town on Spey.
The people and the weather were lovely, I am looking forward to going again.
I never think of "Nessy" when someone says Scotland. I think of the wonderful views, the Cairngorms and shortbread !

Mountains, lochs, heather-clad moors, wee cottages in the middle of nowhere, friendly folk who put themselves out to be supportive, beautiful large-horned, red-haired highland cattle, the otter on the rock, the deer by the fence, the feral cat on the mat, and a generous, heart-warming glug of -uisge-beatha 'the water of life' [malt whisky!]

Glad you mentioned the colour of the sea on the west coast, glass. When people ask me what my favourite colour is, that's what I think of.

The Falkirk wheel-awesome!

...not forgetting the village ceilidh...noisy, fun, enjoyed by tots to the more mature members of the community. Oh, and the way a Scot makes the language such a treat to listen to. Love everything there is about bonnie Scotia.

Eagles, ospreys, salmon ladders, whisky distilleries, isles, lochs and mountains, deep-fried Mars bars (still haven't tried one) shortbread, Edinburgh tattoo, bagpipes................

That's true, soop - the only thing I liked about Gordon Brown was his voice, with that hint of a Scottish accent!

Oh! stoppit! I'm getting homesick.

'There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier...'

I was wondering why the question B...... Makes sense now.

Swinging Kilts
Dancing across swords
With daggers in socks.
Bloodthirsty lot
These fiery Scots.

Holidays when I was about 11/12, in Dunoon. We went out every day on the paddle steamers around the isles, and the Games, pipers and caber tossing!

Apologies in advance to Scotland!
What do I think of ...... grey grey grey. rain rain rain, midges midges midges!

All the above plus
Ben Nevis summit with clouds beneath my feet
Sea Eagles on Mull
Rannoch Moor
Mary Queen of Scots

Thistle?

I have only been to Scotland once, and it wasn't on holiday. It was many years ago, somewhere (I think) near Pitlochry?

When I have tried to describe my impressions of it, I always end up saying "I know that the sky is just the sky, but it seemed bigger there, and the mountains were just................."

Probably makes no sense, but I know what I mean!

Port Patrick I have had many happy holidays there.

The Mull of Galloway it's breathtakingly beautiful.

Scottish tablet it's delicious.

Lighthouses.

a Mcdonads kilt and his quarter pounder

whooops! sorry....meant a Mcdonalds quarter pounder (slip of the tongue)

DH of course - looking on the bright side.
A plain loaf
Mountains and lakes
The Argylle and Sutherlands (a posting in Ireland with them)
Pipe music
The Ardnamurchan peninsula
The Forth road bridge (meant we were leaving)

On the other hand:
Scottish nationalism
a long, long, long, grey posting in Fife
rain
rain
wind
rain
COLD
tight lipped relatives of DH's mother

Kintyre, and everything and everyone in it, including soop, then there`s another VERY good friend, in Fife, who I think of almost every day.
