I have been so mega stressed the last few years and haven't been able to take a vacation. But I have now signed up to go to Scotland for a week next summer.

Ooh - I wonder if haggas (sp?) is in the food database.

If you're from Scotland, give me a shoutout and tell me what to absolutely not miss! And what is your favorite healthy food for when I try the local fare.

I'm so excited - I told a Scot I met here that I thought Scotland was so beautiful it must be where God goes for vacation. Without missing a beat he said "just be sure to go the same time He does, becasue that's the only 2 weeks the sun shines!" LOL!!!

    I don't know if Haggis is in the database, but if you want to eat it, you are better off NOT knowing what is in it. :noway:

    Never been to Scotland but my father was born there. Someday.

    I play soccer with a guy from Scotland. He says Haggis is awful. Stay away from it. Have fun.

    I'm English, but the Caledonian Canal is probably my favourite countryside in the whole world. (well I haven't seen the whole world, but out of all the places I've visited it is). The Brecon Beacons in Wales is my 2nd favourite.

    Single malt is low carb and therefore healthy in my book. Even if it weren't low carb, life always looks a lil' better through the bottom of a glass of The Glenlivet. Just saying.

    Back packed all over Scotland for 3 mos when I graduated college. Dad went to see relatives and a buddie and I decided to explore ( my dad is Scottish, first generation in the US)

    Fabulous place with some of the nicest people on the planet. I had folks that I never met before offer me and my friend a meal, and or a drink to get warm I have stayed in touch with some of them for 20 years, and had a few stay with my family when they came to the states.

    I'm not Scottish, (English) but you need to try deep fried mars bars. The absolute opposite of healthy haha. Stovies is nice and probably quite nice.
