I am from Edinburgh but now live in the North East of England. I was up in the Highlands last month -Aviemore, Cairngorms and Inverness and all points in between.

Enjoy.

Thank you...I'm on the very west coast,then you fall in to the sea,went to school in Edinburgh and Aberdeen...

It's always nice to have more onboard.

Just wondering..... autumn is really showing it's face in my neck of the woods.
The colours are changing rapidly . Trees and foliage are looking stunning!

*Polly* all welcome on here, I'm originally from Fife, lived for many years in Edinburgh, now live near Orpington in Kent.


Morning Robert, GoldenGirl1, GlasgowLass - mild but dry at the moment here in Kent, leaves still on the trees :-)

Have a good day everyone

Polly,
Which School did you go to in Edinburgh?

Just back from a trip up the West Coast as far as Kinlochbervie, via Loch Lomond and Braemar (for the Gathering). Don't know where all the Scots were there, seemed mostly to be Americans, Germans, Japanese, etc!

Found the Gathering a bit confusing. Everything in the arena going on at the same time - dancing, caber tossing, hammer throwing, races, tug-of-war, pipe bands all at the same time in different areas of the arena but all very enjoyable but not a Scotch pie in sight!

I don't mind the Foreigners visiting Scotland and spending their money there. It is good for the Scottish economy!!

Pity about the Scotch pie.

Lots of foreigners here all Summer,I volunteer in the local tourist office/museum..

I love Games day...I'm usually in the tea tent serving the punters..All home baking..

I went to Craiglochart Convent in Edinburgh..It's now part of Napiers..

My sil lives in Orpington...

Hate Scotch pies...Love tattie scones and smokies... :-D

Hi Polly :-D

This thread is (I believe) for Scots, either living in Scotland or born there.... and those who want to be Scottish lolol.......... and anyone else who just likes Scotland.

I was born in Scotland, been in Australia since I was 12....... explains the name.. Sc oz :-D

I was born in Stirling and my mum was a MacKenzie..Lived in England from 17 until we retired up herewhen my parents died..Been back here 9 years now.Such a friendly ,busy village and I'm usually bustling about somewhere...I love it... :-)

Yes LadyScozz

This thread IS for anyone with Scottish connections no matter how loose (the connections I mean!!) or anyone who, as you say, would like to be Scottish

You are right Robert.

I did the research on my own family

Last time that two of my SCOTTISH direct ancestors entered into a marriage was in 1815.
Their son, my gg grandfather was 100% Scottish, but he took an Irish wife.... so did his son. ( 50% Scottish)... .and his grandaughter. (25% Scottish)... and then my Dad (12.5% Scottish)

As my mum was 100% Irish, that makes me 6.25% Scottish and 93.75% IRISH!

Yes GlasgowLass, but the 6.25% will be real quality.
