That Place What Gets More Rain Than Us o:

Before I write this blog what springs to mind is Frankie Boyle, Edinburgh Castle, Bad weather, lots of unhealthy food, including haggis and oo Biffy Clyro.




I want to write a few things about Scotland now. What would keep you interested with this country. Perhaps, you'd enjoy Loch Ness considering that's very publicised, or Ben Nevis. Meh.

The Truth

You may think Scotch eggs are Scottish. However, you would be LYING to yourself! These disguised eggs were in fact created by the London Department store, Fortnum and Mason, in 1738.

I find this much less impressive =/

In any case, I think they taste abhorrent so I say whatever :)

Where d'you think Scotland Yard is? This always confused me. Its in London though and its where all the police talk about policing and whatnot. I looked up into why it was named Scotland Yard and well, it seems very slight. Perhaps Scottish kings visited the place from time to time, or the street may have just been owned by someone called Scott.

How many things with 'Scot' in the name actually have a very firm Scottish origin then?

To call a Scottish person 'Scotch' would be wrong too, as it was only confused English people that applied the term to them. The action, to scotch means to put an abrupt ending to. It has nothing to do with Scottish people and never did. Ha.

Now for anything that actually is Scottish:

• Ewan McGregor! =]
  
• 
  
  
  

  
  
  I saw Moulin Rouge yesterday and that was fabulous. I have now downloaded 'Your Song', the one he sang because it is like amazing. And yeah.
  
  
• A Grey Seal on the Isle of Skye 

• Nova Scotia, Canada, as in ethnicity. Almost 30% being Scottish.

• Càrn Mòr Dearg - the eighth highest mountain in Scotland. Even this mountain at 1220 m is highest than Snowdon ;[

That's enough about Scotland for one day...

Bye!
