my name is Stefano and I am an italian travel blogger specialised in Scotland
I can't wait to return to this beautiful country in just two weeks to visit the Christmas Markets in Glasgow and Edinburgh
Have a great weekend all!
Hello to everyone. I'm Mark and I live in the dry dusty desert of Arizona :
I've never been to Scotland, but I watch so many videos. My dream is to finally make it to Scotland and enjoy first hand all the beauty.
I'm actually a New Zealander but have lived in Australia for the past 15 years...can't wait to move back home. Thank you for having me in your community.
My ancestors came from Scotland and I have a spiritual affinity with the land of my forebears. Since I was 8 years old, I have wanted to visit Scotland and although I am now 64, I don't think it will ever happen now.
I do my family tree and have traced some of my ancestors back to Inverness and Aberdeen, but I want to know where I can learn how to find out more information about family who may live there and we don't even know if each other exists.
If I ever get to your beautiful country I want to tour it, photograph it, and trace my family...if I can.
But the one thing I want more than anything, is to meet the Scottish people so anyone who'd like to know me, let me know please.
Although I have never been to Scotland, part of my homeland reminds me so much of Scotland and that is Central Otago. I drove around there 4 years ago and really understood why so many Scots made that part of New Zealand their home. The Scottish architecture is everywhere, right down to the little stone cottages in the country. I would love to show you just one of the stone cottages I photographed there, built by two brothers who came out from Scotland in the 1800's and settled high up on a hillside in a little valley. Their father had been a stone mason and they used their skills to build this beautiful little cottage which is heritage listed and now owned by the Historic Places trust.
Not sure how to upload the photos but let me know if you'd like to see them and learn a little history of a Scot's family who moved to the bottom of the world to make a new life in the olden days.
Cheers

Hi everybody, my name is Michael. I live in a small town near Würzburg in the southern half of Germany, but my home-of-heart certainly is located in the Scottish Highlands. My first visit dates back about almost 30 years ago now, and I've returned several times since (not nearly often enough as far as I'm concerned, though
).
I'm happy to join this community and look forward to share and receive inspirations.
We live in the US, in southwest Ohio near Cincinnati.
My name is Luisa and I am portuguese. I love Scotland since I was a teenager. I visited 3 times and I am planning my next trip, this time I will go in august for the first time. Nice to meet you all.
My name is Stacy. I'm from Glasgow and love to travel around Scotland - particularly up the West Coast. I'm pretty passionate about what a great country Scotland is. I'm also into photography and enjoy snapping shots of Scotland and posting via Instagram. I didn't realise this forum existed until now, but glad to be joining!! ☺
Hi Everyone, I am Ian and I am a Scozzie (Australian who loves Scotland)
Visited 2013 and couldn't get enough of the place. Will be back this year so will research as much natural and past history as I can to get the most out of it. Scenery was amazing but the atmosphere was fantastic. Love Haggis, whisky and castles. The accent is adorable and the people friendly and hilariously funny.
