You give me Holywood!!! The actor is laughable, the theme, even more so. Deary me. Please research your Scottish ancestry, don't watch Holywood movies.
Just to point out, that was a joke. I have many very good friends who are English.
LOL Too funny.
Yeah, I had every intention to go! My mum's family has it roots there and my dad's from England. We backpacked into Ireland and planned Scotland and stuff came up... We lived there back near Cambridge in the early 90s. Loved Ireland, it felt like home. We planned on going to Scotland but something came up and then I didn't get another opportunity while we lived in England. It's truly been a destination when I go back that direction. I truly dislike the average 'beer' they have here in the US. I like the real stuff and LOVE Scotch which I hear may scare men, is that true?
BTW just like bandit said it, my hats off to you for handling this situation like this.
Thanks, I appreciate that. It just pains me that there are so many of us in this situation. When I read some of the posts on here, I consider myself lucky, some have it much worse than me. I couldn't imagine being a thousand miles away from my kids, it would break my heart.
LOL Too funny.

Haven't heard that one but according to the Discovery channel, Scotland is the world's UFO sighting, hotspot - see where I am going with this? We make Whisky, we see UFO's.
I wasn't a big fan of the Braveheart movie. What irked me is that at the Battle of Stirling there was no bridge. I mean, the reason the Scots won that battle was because they trapped the English on the bridge! You would have thought they could have spent a hundred grand or so to build a mockup!
Anyway, Rob Roy was a better movie.
I bought a kilt in Edinburgh! I chose the McDuff tartan from my dad's mom's family. My mom was Scots on both sides (Colquhoun and McNab) but I don't like her family! LOL! I've only worn it once when my wife and were... um... roleplaying.

Oh, I got a real laugh out loud moment there - brilliant. However, the vision I got is not so good Perhaps you could enlighten Almostrecovered
ps agree on the Rob Roy movie - much better. Unfortunately, Hollywood churn out so many movies that are so factually inaccurate, it's laughable. Such a shame.
