Hello Scotland, South Dakota.... (primary school, college, live)

[peterk]

...from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Surfing the web and I put in place names after my country, Scotland, and I came accross this website forum. So hello everyone!

It is just after 1:00am here in Edinburgh, on a cold bitter early spring night, somewhere between -5/-8 Centigrade.

Don't know if any of you have visited Scotland or Edinburgh, but if you have I'd be interested in hearing what you thought of the place.

For those who have not, let me tell you that Edinburgh is a lovely city with ancient medievial streets, castles and palaces, and the Scootish Parliament.

The best time to visit Edinburgh would be August, for the many festivals on during that month, or over Christmas and Hogmany (what us Scots call New Year) again these days are taken up with festivals and fun events.

I myself do not come from Edinburgh, but from a small town in Lanarkshire in the west of Scotland.

My wife is from Edinburgh, we met whilst at college in England, and I moved here after we finished college.

We have two daughters, the eldest is at High School, the youngest at Primary school, all three are in bed sleeping, luckily I'm not working tomorrow, I have the day off on holiday

So what else is there? not much, about to go to bed myself, I am a big fan of Glasgow Celtic football club if any out there have heard of them.

So any of you Scotland residents in North Dakota reading this?

Good night, and God bless.

I moved from Scotland to the US in 1979...right now I'm in Michigan but I plan to move back west when I can. I also lived in California & Colorado, but housing prices got too high.
I think there's a Glasgow, Montana...actually there's many cities in the US named after Scottish locales.
I've lived in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Isle of Skye and near Fort William. TRavelled all over the world, too...and to this day, I think the most beautiful part of the world hands down is the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
Since this is a Dakotas forum, it's gorgeous up there too. I drove across the Dakotas in summer 2003. I know the Enchanted Highway is North Dakota, but it's awesome.

Humphrey Glasgow.

Nobody will understand that unless they've actually lived there~!
