Discover the attractions .......

 Not to mention the great museums and  architecture, the world famous events  that take place in our capital, Edinburgh, and the fantastic nightlife and shopping in all the other Scottish cities.


You may ask why I decided to build a website about Scotland. Well, the answer to that is ... it's something I'm passionate about! I know, there
are many excellent websites on the subject already, but I love this place.


Discover the culture .......

 What I will be writing about on this site  is an individual account of everything  the country has to offer, (well, OK,  make that almost everything) but it is  based on my personal experiences, and,  of course, a lifetime of living here.

By the time you've read some of the pages on this site, you'll know a lot more about Scotland, and you'll have the answers to some of the most common questions about the country ...... Questions like ......
