Could I move to Scotland?!

And the place where I was racially abused for being English...

The English are a separate race from the Scots? You're kidding, yes?
I thought they were all the same race, just different tribes.
I could only tell they were different once I heard them speaking.

Granted I did detect a lot of xenophobia, but that I got from the
English for being non-English. The Scots actually gave me a pass.

Why?

Cold
Wet
Midges that eat you alive before breakfast

But the scenery is nice :-)

How about because I like scones with clotted cream? G

In that case, you'd be far better off moving to the south-west of England,
where such items are elevated to fine dining, as with a devon cream tea :-)

Scotland, England and Wales are three countries, which along with Northern
Ireland comprise the United Kingdom.

Obviously I'm being facetious, folks. I do hope to visit there one day,
though. I have some family there. Of course they have no idea who I am,
but what the heck

And some of them might even have cats.

Sandy, who is going to win the lottery just as soon as she figures
out how to do it without buying tickets

Why do you want to move to Scotland? Very cold weather, no work.
Nice scenery. Think again.

Well, ya know... McQuown, Douglas, Brown (Broun)

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

That only makes it appealing. It is not cold enough for me here. I want to
move somewhere where summer is about a month long and doesn't get higher
than 75 at the most. I feel robbed when there is not a lot of snow in winter
and we don't get spring and fall rain and drizzle. I could absolutely NEVER
live down south. Ugh.

Too cold? From a page about Scotland's climate: "January and February
are the coldest months, averaging 41°F to 45°F (5°C to 7°C), and summer
has average temperatures of 66°F (19°C) during its warmest months of July
and August." The hottest months average 66 and the coldest average 41?
Sounds like paradise to me.

Me too!!!!!

The best place for those is, Devon or Cornwall. Of course you can get good
ones anywhere in Britain.

I've always thought Cornwall sounds interesting too.

I'm a resident (of 12 years) in Cornwall, just above the Tamar Valley,
and can guarantee it. History drips from every lichen-encrusted
tree-branch and decaying granite mine-engine house.

Y'all'd be welcome for a visit

I keep swearing someday I am going to take a "real" vacation where you
actually get to go somewhere new. Seems like most of my "vacation" is spent
on sick days.

My father's mother was from Cornwall. I've often wondered if I had
family left there.
