rick ruhland replied to Brenda McLean's discussion 'Scotland trip'
Hi Brenda,
It depends on how much you want to see, the way you travel, etc. On my first trip to Scotland (some 25 years ago), I travelled by bus and train, with a backpack, and I saw Edinburgh, Inverness, Ullapool and Fort William. So, yes, I think…

Hi David,
Thanx for sharing your view with me. Sometimes I wish I had some Scottish blood in me. At least I would understand why Scotland bothers me so much :-). And you do have a strong point: it does give a sense of kinship and belonging, as well…
David Taylor replied to rick ruhland's discussion 'Wearing a kilt'
Hello there Rick,
I suppose it is a compliment to Scotland that you find such an affinity to our country. Who knows, somewhere in your ancestry you may have Scots blood! During the 16th and 17th centuries there was much comings-and-goings between…
