My mother is Finnish so I have some experience.
True though, the women do make up for it.

I recently had some family come to stay with me from America. Funnily enough, they said the same thing about America and they were amazed to actually to see peoples taxes actively being used in this country.

A few other west coast towns and isles in Scotland benefit from the gulf stream which gives localised tropic like conditions a lot of the year, great place to visit in summer:
Where is this place... packing my bags and moving.. its stunning!!! Particularly top 2 images!!
To all of you that are saying you'll be out of this country if you could, where would you go, why, and have you ever spent an extended period of time there (not on holiday)?
I thought much the same until I went travelling and spent some time in a few places. I had a fantastic time everywhere I went but there's no way I'd want to move to any of the places I stayed in, and that includes Australia which I had right up there in my list of places to live.

The town is Plockton in the Highlands, quite remote.
The beach below it is not far away but across the water on the isle of Skye, it's Calgary beach you get the ferry to the town.
It has its ups and downs.. Chavs in general ruin it.. I like Birmingham, but if i was to live anywhere when i'm older (in the UK), based on my current knoledge of cities it would be Bath( somerset in general is lovely)- i live here term time.... Not too fond of London... although my impression of it has improved

No way does that exist in Scotland!

That's probably due to homesickness rather than anything else i'm guessing a few years building friendships etc and you'd change your mind.

A nation best enjoyed from afar.

It does.
Scotland is pretty diverse in many ways for a relatively small area.Probably most of the best drives in the country are up around the West coast too.
If your down the south of England you'll still have warmer summers than bits of the highlands will, not much though few degrees at most.
