Privacy and the Highlands Ethos.
In the USA there is a mountain regions (east to west) ethos (religious and cultural) that highly values privacy.
An aspect of independence/freedom.
Same in the Scottish Highlands?
Hard to maintain on a web forum since sharing opinions and beliefs and preferences is (and must necessarily be) the substance of the content.
Equally hard to maintain when your kilt is the center of attention, like it or no.
Some touchiness now and then should be no surprise.
Example: I once asked a (USA Appalachian Mountains) man his opinion. Without hesitation he replied: "What do you think?"
Ain't giving anything away to a stranger.
