Aww, thank you for sharing this, Frances! A big chunk of my heart belongs to Scotland. My father was Scots-Irish. I visited three times from 2015-2019. I wanted to move there and felt homesick when I returned to the US.
I was so disheartened that the Scots seemed all in on the PLandemic. :( I guess I've seen too many Scottish rebellion movies.
My favorite saying is "Haste ye back." I love that you can wild camp there. The Isle of Iona and the Faery Glen near Uig were magical.
I saw the funniest meme the other day. Two students were taking a test - one was looking over the other's shoulder, cheating (it was Mr. Bean!) Over the copier it said Christianity and the other one said Paganism. 😂 No offense to St. Andrew on his special day... xo

Happy St. Andrew's Day Scotland!!!
During the time I was station in the U.K. (American forces), I was fortunate enough to have traveled to Wales and Scotland a few times. Like most Americans, I headed to Inverness, to find Nessie...or an authentic T-shirt. What a beautiful country, with the same for their people. I have only fond memories of country and people.
However, someone stole the monster, before I got there...probably another American tourist...bastards!! 🐲
Frances, thanks for the Scottish sayings. I'll share them with a co-worker, I introduced to the slang terms "Bint" and "Slapper", from your saga...he uses them on a daily basis now...like a 5 year old who just learned his first cuss word. 🤣🤣🤣
All the best Scotland, you are well thought of, through out the world!!
Thanks Frances, for teaching me something else I didn't know.
I love this. The multimedia aspects of SubStack are largely unexplored. Although I find myself in the wilds of Tennessee, I have many ancestors from the border wilds of Scotland.
Och, aye. ^_^
Love it!! Thanks
