Southwick

Just drinking a bottle of Champion McEwans beer and congratulations to the brewer it is excellent.

The other day I even made up some Scots Porridge Oats and forgot how good they were. It was a bitterly cold morning which may have clouded my judgement but hit the spot anyway.

So what other things, people, places etc have been worthy if mention?

Sorry to piss on your chips but Rod Stewart is English and the Irish make better Whiskey.

Other than that I love Scotland and have visited Glasgow and Edinburgh many times. I especially love Glasgow and have had wonderful times up there (B)

The Scots don't make whiskey. We make whisky.

I can't believe this was the first mention of kilts! What an omission!

Also Rod Stewart is half Scottish by ancestry so I think that allows him to be included
