Had a great time whilst assisting with care of aunt in Law. These are just some of the things I learnt during my stay in Portpatrick.

South West Scotland is a gem. Wonderful scenery and not too many people.
They speak a foreign language.
Haggis is no bad at all.
Scottish hangovers are worse than English hangovers. Oh and they celebrate New Year too.
The marvellous Kelpies - how did they build those without me knowing?!(It was when we lost UK Tv for a couple of years)
It is a long way to anywhere.
Everything is free.
Glasgow traffic is awful.
PortPatrick is Cornwall without tourists and yellow lines
Speed cameras everywhere.
Sat Nav - what a load of fun. Can't wait to get it to Spain and hear its pronunciation. (Believe it or not it was the first time I had ever seen one)
It rains a lot and often. Oh and it is cold. Last time I was that cold was the first 17 years of my life near Scarborough
Lots of wildlife everywhere- deer, birds etc. Saw my first Whimbrels...
Found a car to buy for £2000 at a dealer and his policy was no test drives! Went elsewhere.

IF we ever leave Spain, SW Scotland would be high on the list.

I'm glad you said 'IF'.  Leaving Spain for anywhere on this wretched island should be swiftly followed by a frontal lobotomy.

I nearly moved to the loch lomond area years ago for a girl.. Sometimes wish I had.

Oh yes and I think haggis is gorgeous, always thought I was weird there

Haggis is a bit like sausages, there is nice haggis and bloody horrible cheap haggis

Buggers to catch them haggis,they have got a fair turn of speed when,they want, was told best put traps out for them.

Me and a mate used to captive breed them, kept escaping though so we gave up in the end

My mate runs a Haggis rescue centre for lost, stray and abused Haggis's.  Keeps them safe from buggers like you!

  You lot are unhinged..

  That's where ours ended up I think, lost a few quid on the whole venture but at least they were looked after

Farmed Haggis has a distinctly different, and IMHO inferior, taste to the proper, wild, variety.

Looking forward to the skirl of the pipes as the wee beastie is paraded on the 24th ... to be washed down with a wee dram or three ...

I used to like haggis liver pate, untill I found out that they force feed the poor haggis with all kinds of shite to enlarge it's liver. They used to force the unfortunate haggis to eat sheeps lung, liver and heart, oatmeal, onion, suet and seasoning. I mean, would you like to eat that?

[The Sheriff]

Good grief! I just realised they turned the haggis into a cannibal. Disgusting!

[Lagondanet]

Looking forward to eating some on 24th washed down with a bit of the other.
