Been loads of times, including several weekends with Schtum and his wife Sharon 
Only returned last Friday from a week in Dunoon, Tobermory, Ullapool and Ballachulish with my lovely wife Trudi and we had six sunny days out of eight and, surprisingly, a fantastic meal in the new Galleon Grill in Tobermory - makes a change from the 1980's style pub grub served in most of Scotland (the Bistro in Lochcarron is also excellent)
It's a fantastic place once away from the big towns and cities, like most other regions of the British Isles away from South East England
It was still nice to come home to the Yorkshire Dales and Pennines though after the boring bit between Loch Lomand and Cumbria

Scotland is lovely and the Scots are, like most people lovely too, but Alex Salmond does come across as a complete tw@t on the telly.

I think he means the Darien venture in the late C17th and it's effect on the Act of Union in 1707.
The South Sea bubble wasn't until the 1720's and had no real significance on subsequent events regarding Scotland.
How's that?

Klanky........dinna mention the Darien Experiment
....That was the Scots pretending they were even more Imperialist than the English

I'm a White Settler, Hebby.
'Tis my sworn duty to annoy the Natives.
(edit)
On a more serious note - the 'Imperialist' card is played quite a bit when it comes to historical arguments involving England.....but Scotland was just as keen as the English, French, Spanish, Dutch and Porkies to grab a piece of the action. Unfortunately it didn't go well for them.
If it had - the we would possibly be looking at a totally different relationship between Scotland and England today

The ethos of Scottish politics...............Maybe not narrow - hope you're not a Yorkshire bigot

No a scouser, but certainly not a bigot, and with family (yes I have jocks in my family, and Irish as well) and friends living in Scotland hopefully not unimformed. Just because I live in England it doesn't mean I know feck all about Uk history/politics, or have concerns about the break up of the UK.

Tell me your thoughts on Scottish Nationalists then - given that the majority of Scots Parliament is SNP and you dislike/hate/ them, classing them alongside midges .
(ps I have a Scousers in my family and I have to lock the booze cupboard when they come visiting....and her and him only 12 and 14 respectively an all )
