Those are great pictures, Mike! I would love to go there. The girls, especially the one with the facial piercings look like some of my sons' friends!

P.S Cisco Stop drooling into the Keyboard.

How eerie that someone had the foresight to carve a stone effigy of Mike in his Winter Beard way back when!
I can vouch for Scotland's beauty, it is clean and green there. The food, however...well at least they had a McDonald's or two~ and also the best Fish and Chips ever.
Hope to travel there again. Love....Jill

Jill......Please don't give up on the excellent food of Scotland....Be more non- American and you'll see it in a different light..I too was skeptical and now I love it! That goes for ALL food in EVERY country....(Everywhere I went, the "Clown" and the "Colonel" were there...even India.) Thanks for posting the pics Barb....It is truly my second home.......

Haahahahahaha Scot, you're to much man...you saw me huh? That poor Mike, living that rough life with all them women. I guess I'm going to have to help him paint em and since he only has two arms, take one off his hands, that's all I can do amigo to help you out. You know I'm there for you. I don't know about the food, but one of these days I will have to check it out. Maybe I'll have one of them Lassies prepare some for me?? Or I'll make some Scotland Tacos...yeah that's the ticket

Mike, thanks for the pics! And that's the most handsome gargoyle I av ever seen! Oh, I meant the the last pic! Doesn't your wife get jealous with all those gorgeous girls you hang out with!! (can't wait for some pics from my uncle, my Mom's brother who recently visited Scotland in Sept. to visit our relatives and heritage there, in Edinburgh.) It is a beautiful country, and my dad's brother was over there during World War II. I love the music and folklore from the area.

Hahaha Cisco....Big Brother is watching... Its always a pleasure showing you around our Wee country Mike and I just wish more would take the time to visit. Next time your here bud I'll Introduce you to Burns Country (about 25 miles west of Glasgow) and the reason everybody sings Auld Lang Syne at New Year.. http://www.rabbie-burns.com/index.cfm Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Yup, I got to do that at the Military Tattoo in Edinburra (Fife accent) last year. The neat thing is, all the folks crossed their arms across their chests and clasped each other's hands while they sang it. I even felt Scottish for a minute! Cisco, a Scottish taco probably has sweet corn in it... The bread is heavy, the coffee is strong, and the beer will knock you for a loop. Americans are wusses. love....Jill

nice photos mikey... they all tell a story too.
just got back from the west coast, we were in a place called Tighnabruaich and had a great time...plenty of the guinness and fresh clean Scottish air... great to charge the batteries, my sister has a farm there and had a new calf born on my birthday on sunday, they now have a cow called stewart... great eh... the food over here can be from any corner of the globe,, we have everything,, we can cater for everyone...whatever you like.... Cisco they dont really have a Scottish taco but we invented most things on the planet ,so there could be a space for you to come up with a secret recipe. ha ha ... ash you were to damn busy to come up so get out your pram and get your room tidied up ,now.......
