We've slept in Glencoe, Fort Williams, Skye Island, Inverness, Dundee and finally in Edinburgh.
Generally speaking, my view is Scottish people are serious but kind, always ready to help you and  communicative, even when they don't understand you. They make a real effort so AS TO conversation is possible.

The actors were entirely fantastic, but the topic was quite outlandish to me.
