Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there from Scotland? I was born in Glasgow and I live about an hour away now.

So is anyone else from the land of tartan, haggis, kilts, bagpipes, whisky, castles, mountains, munros, tablet, Burns, lochs, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Carnegie, Andy Murray, Braveheart, inventions, wisdom, rain, and beauty?

Or if not, are there any international fans of this glorious country out there?

If there are, greetings!
:D :D :D

I'm not from Bonny Scotland, but I'm a neighbour. Born and bred in stupid England >.< I have a friend who lives in Falkirk though :D And I love the Scots Accent, so much better than the silly English ones.


Oh and I love Kilts, haha. Oh and HAGGIS! OMG I LOVE HAGGIS!

Ahahaha glad to hear it! It's nice to meet an English person who's actually a fan, especially of haggis! It's great though isn't it? Particularly with neeps and tatties :D

Yes the accent can be lovely (not the unpleasant guttural weegie one but the broad Highland one etc!) I unfortunately have a warped English/American one though as my dad was in the army. I've lived here from the ages of 0-2 and 8-16 but never got the accent again!

One of my best friends is from Falkirk! And I actually wear a kilt as part of my school uniform! It's several shades of blue :)

Nice to meet you!

Technically speaking I'm from Belize, if you asked someone from Arizona where I was from they'd say ARIZONA! . . . But my family is a part Irish (among many other things) . . .

I inherited the accent. >>

Belize? Cool! And I love the Irish accent (more than Scottish!), although I'm part Welsh so love their accent too!

Yeah my best friend is Irish, lovely country :)

So you live in Arizona? I've always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon!
