Also Scotland is soooo beautiful and rustic, if rustic is the correct word. My bro went there a few years back with some friends and he loved the whole place. My roots are also from Scotland so I do have a hankering to see the home of my ancestors ( as well as Venice cause one half of my family originally came from there).  8)
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

We've just done it over the last 3 days - brilliant.
We've gone to the islands over the last 4 years (Skye & North Uist) - well worth the trip folks - scenery, wildlife and peace and quiet  :thumbsup:

I love Scotland and can't wait to get back there. Not this year though as our holiday is reserved for meeting our new grandchild.

And this morning especially, the rain battering your face will exfoliate any dead skin cells leaving you with a lovely soft complexion

failing that, stand facing into the wind and as if by magic your wrinkles disappear  ;D

I just love living in Scotland and any time we do get away a week is long enough. I never tire of our countryside and the passion of the people. The weather may not be all that great but I don't like it too hot anyway.  :raining:
