I class myself as Scottish through and through, as my dear old dad is from Gallowgate and my mum from Lochwinnoch.:-D

....and you are Scottish, in fact an honorary Weegie since yer da's fae "The Gallowgate" - for some reason it's never just "Gallowgate" - ask your dad! Luckily, you won't have the (to some, at least) unintelligible Glaswegian accent? - I can say that as I'm a Weegie, but ye mibbee no unnnerstaun!;)

I'm bilingual - I can speak English too.;)

Hi:)
I live in Switzerland in the French speaking region. I spent my childhood and school years in Horley, Surrey (hi Andy). I too have two passports.

Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!

Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.

The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!

Cruelty

Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.

I understand everything, both my names are traditional Scottish names, Surname is a clan name, both of which I am very proud of :-D people say my dad still has the Scottish accent, but listening to my brother who still lives in Scotland, my dad sounds more English to me. I know about the' Gallows' my dad will be 91 this year and doesn't remember things like he used to. I have relatives in Ayr, Eastwood and my step nan ,many years ago, lived in Paisley. Wonderful people, in a wonderful country. Cheerio :)

We were in Dunedin two days ago. It's a lovely place, settled by the Scots so very scottish in it's traditions. It's about an hours drive away from us. :)
