None of those names rings a bell, it was another brand of sweater. Not as big a
name as those you mentioned.

The Shetland Isles are known for the phenomenal wool their sheep yield; I guess when it's so cold in a place it makes sense to check out what the animals are wearing there!
Caryn, I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing me say how much we're looking forward to doing a Scotland-Norway trip in 2001.

It's a pleasant feeling that so many people are fascinated about Scotland, I am glad I was born and raised there. I would love to put small groups together and take them over to Scotland, and show them my Scotland, the way I and many others there see their homeland. Our moors are lush with thick healthy grass and lush greenery. Our frequent rains keep our vegitation robust. Please let's come up with a strategy to make these trips possible. Looking to rent a Manor, castle or lovely cottage fit for gro
ps of 10 couples! What do think Autumn, you have a very English/Scottish first name! We would use our Manor house, castle or cottage as our base and go out and do our thing! We would have a couple of fine dinners thrown in to experience Scottish cusine at its finest either in Glasgow or Edinburgh or both, go up through Perthshire, then into Dundee and up through St. Andrews Golf resort. Aberdeen, over through Inverness and into the Loch Ness area and a town named Ben Nevis. That is just one of many i
eas we can look into. I was even thinking of taking folks through the areas where my novels take place! We will certainly see what boils! Keep those good ideas coming! Thank you! Caryn.

I am especially interested in exploring the Highlands, and I should mention that we will be traveling with our children. To see the country thru the eyes of a local...every tourist's dream!!
BTW, Autumn, while English, is postulated to be Etruscan in origin...

I have so many favorite memories of Scotland, but one which stands out was our first visit there in midsummer, Edinburgh. We had our hotel window open and I heard my favorite sound in the distance - bagpipes. I listened carefully then checked the clock. It was the piper on the battlements of Edinburgh Castle and I get chills every time I think of it. I knew right then part of my heart would always remain in Scotland.

Well, it was New Year. One had two choices: a cold bath that took 3 hours to fill, or a cold shower, jumping around to occasionally catch on of the 3 drops that trickle from the whitely caked showerhead. But the surroundings were great: a castle on the sea in the middle of nowhere. And a fireplace!!! I love fireplaces!

And on New year, Scotsfolk of course traditionally have only cold water... Right? Switch it off New Year's eve, and forget to turn it back on until the folks sober up, right?

Loch Ness is incredibly deep. Who knows what exists in the murky depths. There may even be deep caves etc. For myself, I rather like the idea that something is there. I know shoals of fish are regularly seen on sonar in the loch, so there is life.
