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.

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.

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.

OK, win the lottery and then move to Scotland.

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.

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?


Glasgow and Edinburgh.

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!

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!

Just remember that our ancestors were a sensible sort. And they
emigrated.

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?

Why?

Cold
Wet
Midges that eat you alive before breakfast

But the scenery is nice :-)

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

It rarely gets very cold in Britain due to warming by the gulf stream, other
parts of the world at the same lattitude get much colder during the winter.

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