When you think of Scotland, what do you think of?

[Fanum]

Piss heads and midges

yup....that about sums it up.....plus deep fried everything, dirty old tramps on the streets , the highest heart disease rate outside of the coronary care unit at St Barts, ridiculous tax laws that see us paying for free shit that they should pay for themselves, a load of whingers moaning about the oil that us English found and drilled up for them.....oo what else....men in skirts, twee spelling that some of them seem to think is amusing, more inbreeding than there is in Norfolk, no motorways, the second best whiskey/whisky in the world (Magilligan pure pot still has anything the sweaties can produce beaten flat!) er.......rain, but not that nice soft rain that the Oirish have, this is rain that goes UPWARDS, and that has razor blades in it Shyte football, ridiculous racial and religious segregation and hatred based purely on the fact that some of them like a few more candles and farkles on their alters......

Have I missed anything??

Garfield's quite nice, but he's not really a sweaty, he's a Seffrican, so he's excused.

On a serious note, you're spot on about religeous hatred up here. Religion causes more trouble than anything...

Real roads that I've ridden faster on than any other roads in Europe.

Rain that doesn't seem to slow you down.

Bars that are for drinking in not for having a drink with a meal in.

Sunsets.

Fresh seafood cooked right and not fanny'd with.

Drunks who you can talk to without feeling sorry for them.

Glens and lochs.

People who know how to laugh.

Being eaten alive by midges and not giving a toss because of the scenery and company.

Airport workers who will give a terrorist a slap for trying to bomb his airport even when he's on fire.

Small ferry's

Tennets Extra Cold

A whole new language to learn.

Tartan carpet and dead animals heads on the wall in hotels

Wild camping

Telephone boxes in the middle of nowhere.

People who you meet that treat you like you've known them all your life.

Roads with no traffic on them for miles on end.

Happy days.

You're right. Historically, Dundee was known as being "famous for the 3 x J's" (Jute, Jam and Journalism). Now it's the "4 x J's" (Jute, Jam, Journalism and Jamaicans)

The hall mark of self obsessive febs

You are excused thinking such but the reality is the reverse: it's a minority of self-obsessed Scots who spend their (albeit few) conscious hours obsessing about their "wee bit hill and glen" and when they do, it's always with eyes cast South in an orgy of self-pity.

BBC Four has been running a Scotland series lately. It's been quite interesting and one of the points made in a discussion was that some Scots are obsessed with the notion of Scotland in a way that is completely alien; that they see everything through a "tartan prism." All national and international matters are viewed from a myopic, parochial perspective.

The content of Scottish Section of this forum more often than not supports that contention.
