Apart fom Nessie...

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!

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

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

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

Oh! stoppit! I'm getting homesick.

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

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

...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.

The Falkirk wheel-awesome!

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.

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!]

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 !
