@margo,
Yeah....they dont like me....if you are wrong people will later say I like so and so, he sticks up for his beliefs. But if you are right, they will grummble forever saying so and so is a smart-arsed now-it-all bastard. If you are dumb and agree with them they will love you. If you are smart and disagree with them they will hate you. All a part of being selfish and self-centred. So the best you can be is dumb and wrong. The worst you can be is smart and right. I have yet to lose a moments sleep over it.
@littlek,
If you research it, you will find that "the tartan industry" was invented by the Victorians, and that much of "clan history" involved bribery and collusion. This is not to detract from its beautiful landscapes, provided you avoid the midge season.

Well, but there had been 'tartans' - that only stopped (more or less) completely after 'Forty-Five' - only to be re-invented in 18th century by the English.
Och the midges, wee bizzims that they are, they are truly terrible.
They get in your hair, on your eyelids, through your clothes.
Some people are okay with them, but I'm not one of these. I come out in lumps. Why do you think I emigrated to England?
In days gone by, you were okay in a smoky pub, but no-one can smoke indoors now.
We have gnats and no-see-ums. Does bug spray help?
I just watched a Nature special on The Isle of Mull. I want it.

I'm going to Scotland - well - just a little bit of it!
Visit friends in Largs - then head north a bit - Fort William, perhaps Skye.
@margo,
Largs is good.
Don't miss Nardini's ice-cream parlour.
@margo,
As is Skye (I'me wondering how a certain 'she' is doing. 40 years ago ...
)
