Welcome to FT! If you've been on/off a lot before registering, you know we're a great group of diverse people, all w/ the love (or necessity) of travel. All with different viewpoints & opinions, and different levels of politeness when expressing them!
And for whoever asked about the Scotland info. Private message ajamieson; he put together a big thing on it as he lives there; think it's in a word doc he could email you. Do a search for 'ajamieson' on this forum & you'll find a post by him; then you can click on his name to PM.
PS - Nice kitties!
