    Alex, that would seem to be because in many people’s minds only the Highlands and the Islands are of any interest.
    Since my Scottish ancestors were from the region south of Glasgow, I heartily disagree.

    ...or perhaps that's just where this photographer did his/her wandering. Maybe he's from that area him/herself?

    I really didn't put the link up to create controversy.

    Sorry, I had no wish to start a controversy, simply pointing out there's also a whole lot more to Scotland than Edinburgh, Glasgow, Falkirk, Stirling, Dundee and the Highlands. All of Scotland is worth visiting.

    Oh, and no teasing this time, I sure know that! My people are from Caithness (one picture in the set) and the Orkneys, so guess where I'm making a bee-line to see!

    Sorry, just teasing, fellows, much as I think you both were doing.
