Don't talk politics or sport (especially football) unless you know who you're with. And we didn't all love 'Braveheart' or vote for independence. And don't make jokes about tight-fisted Scots - we've heard them all before and they won't make you Mr Popular down the pub. And please don't rub Greyfriars Bobby's nose when you're in Edinburgh - it's getting a bit too shiny for comfort. Thank you.

Hey
Just so you know NEVER call a Scottish person British I am Scottish and it depends on your religion because that is a big theme in places like Scotland and Ireland so some people prefer being called British but they wont mind being called Scottish where as others like being called Scottish and hate being called British so just be careful because you might end up in a fight

Don't call Skye the Isle of Skye! Just call it Skye. Same with all the other islands, or nearly all of them, think it's a Scandinavian thing, most of island names are Viking, the ay ending, (Scalpay, Vatersay, Eriskay etc) means island, hence bunging on Isle of is redundant, save your breath!

#1 For Christ's sake, if you don't know how to drive on Scottish roads, and find yourself driving 28-35 mph where it is 60 mph, MOVE over, don't antagonise people behind you for 30 miles straight on what would otherwise be an amazing drive. ffs: )

My husband and I were stranded in North Berwick walking to town from Tantallon Castle and three people stopped to ask us for help and the first person called a cab for us. The people in Scotland are the warmest people we've ever come across!

Sometime when you're in Scotland, you will probably likely stay at Arnbeg Farmstay. It's a Bed and breakfast on a farm with sheep, of course the adorable highland cows, alpacas, cats and more animals and the humans are nice there too

Thank you. Scotland looks like a fairytale. I have Irish and Scottish ancestry. I like the highlands and the islands and the cattle. Scotland have some beautiful castles. I like the quaint bed-and-breakfast and the architecture.

Some of the smaller convenience stores are open after 6 PM until maybe 8 or 10 PM.
Filling stations in towns or cities are likely to have a small convenience store and they may well stay open 24 hours a day.

Building the Skye Bridge ruined it all for me. In 1984, I took the ferry and it was such a peaceful relaxing trip where you can watch the scenery. It was even cheaper than the ridiculous toll they charged.
