Glasgow…
is the friendliest town I’ve ever visited. People come up to you and offer help without you even asking. In fact, without you even needing it. Plus, they speak in a wonderful, musical way which I find absolutely irresistible (if very often unintelligible).

On the first night there, we ate in a pub which then turned into a Karaoke bar. I enjoyed watching people sing so we stayed. People came and sat with us, and pints and scotch kept appearing on our table. By the end of the night all the people in the bar were friends. It was a wonderful welcome.

Edinburgh…
Not to be outdone, is about the prettiest town I’ve ever seen, with its truly dramatic landscape. The Old City is built on the flanks of a mountain which is topped by an imposing castle. Oh, and it’s flanked by sea on two sides. We met up with Paul who showed us around, and we had a very good time. Pints on me in September, mate.

The highlands…
Are like a green version of Norway. I simply have to get back out there.
