I'm looking forward to seeing many fine photos from this part of the UK. Although I know a bit what Edinburgh and Glasgow look like, the rest of Scotland is a mystery to me. So, I'll keep this thread subscribed.

By the way, why is Edinburgh called the Athens of the North? I couldn't think of two cities more different from each other.

Glad this thread is of use to you

Scots were the most literate citizens of Europe, with 75% level of literacy in 1750. The 'Scottish Enlightenment' was a period in 18th century Scotland characterised by many intellectual and scientific accomplishments in Scotland. Some of the great thinkers were Francis Hutcheson, Alexander Campbell, David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, Robert Burns, Adam Ferguson, John Playfair, Joseph Black, James Watt and James Hutton, among many, many more.

Basically, lots of very clever people, did lots of very clever things, all at once

I didn't actually realise that there was a UK thread. I would have thought that N.Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales would have their own seperate threads, so I didn't look out for a UK thread.

It's a bit disappointing that you have taken such a pathetic view of the situation and shown yourself as nothing more than a sad, little man.

Obviously not the product of a superior Scottish 'edumacashun' ... the word is 'separate'.

Clown.
