In my youth I was in the T.A. and had some very happy memories of Scotland. Now I am saddened to think Scotland may break away from the Union. I am not being political but seriously upset that things may change as I don't think of Scottish. Welsh or Northern Irish people as not being part of Britain.
I love Scotland for whisky, wonderful landscapes and as I remember it for warmth and people who share the same humour. How has it all gone so wrong!.

Sorry to dampen the image but I am seriously worried where it is all heading,not out of any ill feelings, more out of respect and wanting the union to stay the same.

Last I heard, the majority of people living in Scotland want to stay in the UK.

A little bungalow by the sea near Gatehouse-of-Fleet where we spent many happy holidays. (and I now know this is the area where some of my ancestors came from!)
Student days in St Andrews.
The Edinburgh Festival when I knew an actor.
A year in Aberdeen before the oil, married with kids.
Dundee, many years ending in divorce.

My family came from Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland - I don't want Britain to change.........

...and what do you think of when someone says Scotland, B?

Great holidays and SUNSHINE!! We have always been very lucky with the weather when we go, usually around 12th May, our wedding anniversary.

And I love the mountains and the sea, preferably being able to see both at the same time

Lived there for 7 years and all I can remember is rain and feeling constantly cold. Good things were Morning Rolls and Strawberry Tarts

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world except here in Scotland. Friendly, generous natives, neither extremely hot nor extremely cold climate, wonderful scenery - in the Lowlands, the Highlands and the Islands. A choice of languages and dialects. Clever inventors, without whom the present world would be a much poorer place.

Baxters jam and marmalade. The factory is in the small town where my mum grew up and I always think of her and Fochabers when I see Baxters products

jings Just because she was very silly, doesn't mean you can't feel sorry for her.

Sean Connery

Struggling up Ben Cruachan in the mist and rain, visibility at the top nil. Struggling down again. Holidays on Arran, dancing the eightsome reel, and walking up Glens Sannox and Rosa in sunshine with water in my boots. Sunset over the sea near Arisaig. Getting to the top of Goat Fell and my mother saying she thought she'd left the oven on in our rented cottage. My brother ran back down to check and up again. (She hadn't.)

Oh, Daisy, please! My nostalgia is getting painful. Arran was the view from our top windows. My sister and I got lost trying to find the top of Goat Fell. Did we have a map? Well....

I climbed Goatfell with my dad when I was young enough to find it funny that I went above the top - he put me on top of the cairn on the top!

'The Road To Dundee' 'Westering home' 'The Weaver's Song' 'Sky Boat Song' 'Campbeltown Loch' tra la de dah!

And 'The Road the Isles', of course.

Annobel Of couse. 65 years ago, at the village infant school in Northants, our teacher taught us to sing both 'Sky Boat Song' and 'Road to the Isles'. He had a son who married a Scottish lassie. Little did I know that all these years on I'd be living in a location that looked out to the Isles.

My son in law!
