Scotland.......I love it......I miss it.

What do I miss about Scotland?

Food - Square Sausage, Potato Scones, Good Black Pudding, White Pudding and Fruit Pudding, Glass bottle of Irn Bru (mmmmmmmm so so good!)
Horizontal rain, strange but I miss the fine rain that soaks you through in 2 seconds flat and can strip flesh from bone.
People who talk in the same accent and dialect as me.
People whos first instinct is not money over people.
My Grandmas soup, ooooohhhhh yeah come to me...

I live in England but originally I come from an Island on the West Coast of Scotland, it is beautiful, so very beautiful with a ruggedness that is breathtaking.

All of the above things are pretty simple, homely I suppose, does anybody else live away from home and miss the little things that make it home. (Family and stuff aside).

Och Aye!

Howdy Jock,

I don't live away from home now,but have been many miles away from it and missed it terribly,like when I was stationed at a Navy base-deep in yankee land-in Chicago. I'm country folk from Texas and I hadn't ever been in yankee territory before. I used to go to the bars and play country music,when I was feelin homesick,and there wasn't a decent chicken-fried steak to be found,much less any good,home-cooked vittles like I was used to in Texas. The yankee's were'nt friendly and had even less kindness-if any-when I spoke and they heard my Texas accent.

Then there was the time I went to Saudi and drilled water-wells,talk about being homesick ! In a land where ya can't even say Grace in public,much less mention Jesus's Name..hardly anyone spoke english and there dang sure were'nt any bars to go to..and we were being watched the whole time,by Saudi police,Saudi military and 'holy' men. I tell you what-living under shari'a law..just plain sucks !!

I feel for ya,I know that your heart must ache for your beloved home..and I hope that you can feel better soon..and that you ain't having to deal with inhospitable yankee's.

Have a good one...Torog :D

i feel sorry for u jock m8 as i know how it can be if your away from home for a bit of time,im from scotland myself and i stay in a town 10 miles outside glasgow,loads of lorne(square sausage)black scud(puddin)fruit puddin,tattie scones and hey how can you forget mentionin a quality fish supper soaked in salt and vinegar as you stagger home from the pub after 10 pints at midnight!!!!
