Scotland

[theFijian]

well Inversneckie now, but I was born and brought up in Muir of Ord but thought that no-one would know where that was, went to Dingwall Academy myself from '85-'90 and have lived in Inverness since '92.
Ross County........................not a big football fan any more but my brother in Edinburgh has converted a few jambos to County and their are a few of them now go out in their County tops

I was in the academy 92-94 after we moved from the west coast. Did you ever get Carnie for physics? Oh fiddlesticks!!

Hey Jer, I used to work with an old baker who had many sayings, one of which was "following Scotland will break your heart Davie"
how right he was.
His name was Brian Watt and every day he would have a different saying - Wattie's Words of Wisdom we would call it

LOL! *cough cough* i mean yes, my school work is very important to me... *bursts into a nother fit of coughing*

the castle/ old town i havent really explored much

The old town is the best! Especially at night but then it's always full of drunk folk at night. I recommend going on a walking tour of the Old Town/underground city. Best company to go with for that is Mercat.

Or...if you're brave....go on a ghost tour of Greyfriars Kirkyard with City of The Dead walking group. Went on it twice. First class.

EDIT: kilted stranger your sig rocks!!!

I did not want to read through all the pages, so I'm here just to say hi.

I am not from Scotland. I neever been to Scotland (though I am going there soon..) So why post. Because I love Scotland. We have a huge Scottish Falg, we have Scotch-Irish Blood along with other types. I love Scotland. I'm an American, by also a Scot at heart. All you real Scots may hate me, and think I'm crazy, but you wrong.

God Bless Scotland.

No way would we hate you! Most people want to be Scottish to some degree and we're happy to have you ;D I'm in the Tartan Army (scotland football supporters club) and we have honourary 'Scots' from Sarajevo, England, Ireland, Germany, France....you name it we've got them.

Hope you enjoy your visit. Which city are you coming to?

You may sound crazy but we don't hate you!

God Bless Scotland.

[Kilted Stranger]

I am not from Scotland - but love to visit.

I love the area around Stirling

 

[but'n'ben]

I go to University in Stirling. Great view of the Wallace monument from the campus and from the library...the best view of the ochil hills there is! Beautiful!

 

[NaasPreacher]

I almost envy you (and I live in Ireland).

The Wallace monument is awesome. We also drove to Rob Roy's grave one day. It was a "perfect" Scottish day, foggy, drizzle, damp - could have been 500 years ago.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

lol, and you could have met old Rob... stealing *cough* i mean herding along his cattle...

lol

 

[NaasPreacher]

Didn't get to go to Stirling Castle last visit - it was during the fuel strike and our time and driving was limited. It looks like another great site though. We actually stayed up in Calander.

 

[SteadyRock]

I was in Calendar sometime in the summer holidays. I live in Aberdeen though.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

Calender is a really cool place, with the really cool X-mas shop!
