Hi Jim,

That is very good economic performance -- and a lot of hills to contend with too.

Hi Jim.

Are you not going to give us some idea where you got to on your trip ( ie distilleries, lochs and glens )where i am we have Belhaven Best Brewery) and spoiling the landscape Torness Power Station, Cement Work's and of course the wind turbines in the Lammermuir Hills.

Regards Tom.

Hi ' sorry I didn't anyone be that interested , well I took my new partner up to Scotland as she'd never been before so we stopped at Callender, Oban, Fort Agustus, Fort William, Inverness, lossiemouth, Aviemore, Pitlochry and just about everywhere in between then a couple of days in my home town of Dunfermline before heading back home to Hull. She was pretty much gobsmacked at the scenery and asked why I would leave such a beautiful country, well i'd seen it all before, now she wants to move to Scotland, women eh

cheers

Hi Jim.

You covered quite a bit of the country, what did you think of the New Bridge being built i think they should have made a Tunnel due to the weather conditions that they sometimes get on the Forth.

Regards Tom.

Hi Tom

the bridge looks ok a bit more up to date looking but they are running 6 months behind, a tunnel would have been better but I'm not sure it would have cheaper all though as you say with the high winds sometimes and banning high sided vehicles cant be good for the local economy when wagons have to go all the round to Kincardine to get to edinbourgh, but they are keeping the old one open for cars and buses, wonder what the tolls going to cost for the new one

cheers

Really glad you enjoyed your trip to your native country,especially being a Dunfermline man with its connections to King Robert,too bad you missed the stunningly beautiful south west where I have been privileged to live for the past 30 years.My Jaguar X Type which I bought almost a year ago has performed much better than I expected over that time and in fact has given me no trouble at all on the winding rural roads around here and in addition got me to Heathrow and a tour of Ireland as far as Dublin and Galway City.I have only had to replace the sat nav compact disc which I think was as a result of the dust circulating in the boot caused by the presence of 63 racing pigeons.
