Could I move to Scotland?!

The hottest months average 66 and the coldest average 41? Sounds like paradise to me. Chak Also, keep in mind that there are very long days in the summer and very long nights in the winter, due to the high-latitude location. -- John F.

The hottest months average 66 and the coldest average 41? Sounds like paradise to me. Wow, that's even more temperate than where I live! Here it ranges between low 40s (4-ish C) and high 80s (30C), sometimes hitting the 3 digits (100F = 38C) in the middle of the summer. So occasionally it gets a little too hot for my comfort (which is why I finally bought a car with A/C a few years ago), but usually it's quite comfortable. Sounds like Scotland doesn't have a lot of variety in temperature, and it stays right in the middle. Very pleasant-sounding to me. Joyce |

OK, win the lottery and then move to Scotland.

ups.com: Interesting. I think we have here a difference of opinion with a fact in the middle. How to explain this discrepancy? Just what is the range and the cities being used for the temps?

McQuown, Douglas, Brown (Broun) Jill Not a good enough reason. Stay where you are. I'm more Scottish than you are and I wouldn't dream of going to live there. Note my words. IT'S TOO COLD UP THERE! Tweed Rather be to cold than have 90 degrees 8 am wake up calls Try 100F degrees in the shade with tornados, earthquakes and did I mention 100F degrees? I do have the tornadic weather last week to thank for this cool spell, though. It only got up to 82F today! Jill |

Jo My Dad's ancestors were actually sold as indentured servants. Fascinating story, really Mom's parents, yes, they emigrated. Just a couple of years after the Titanic sank, and yes, in steerage. They must have been rather brave to get on a boat crossing the north Atlantic shortly after hearing about that fun ship, eh? Jill |
