My friends Nick & Kate got married recently (that’s why I was over in Glasgow). As you can see from the picture above they looked very smart - Nick in a black kilt - stylish for a change! I also splashed out on a new suit as the last time I was at a wedding [...]

I’ve written about River City before - it’s a Scottish soap which I tune into and which my friend works on in Glasgow. I was over in Scotland again a couple of weeks ago for a wedding (see the seperate post) and took the opportunity to go and catch up with Maj.
She was working late, so I [...]

My wee sister turned 21 last month! That was a bit sad really as it means I’m getting old - I can vaguely remember the day we went to hospital to pick her up. Anyway, to celebrate, I flew over to Scotland to surprise her, and my other sister flew over from Dallas (I think [...]

Following the shennanigans of the previous night, we all managed to make it up pretty early in the morning (just as well really as our lodges had to be clear by 10am!) - I’d also managed to get back tipsy at about 3am the night before and actually tidy up the entire lodge, clearing it [...]

After drinking for 12 hours the day before, I can safely say I was feeling a bit rough on Saturday morning for the second day of my stay on Islay. I got up at 6am, went back to bed, got up at 10am, went back to bed, got up at 11am, lay on the sofa [...]

Hullo there! (Scottish accent) So after heading to bed at 9.30pm and falling asleep immediately last night, I have now recovered enough to tell you about my weekend! I am splitting it into each day otherwise it would be a long post. And you would probably be falling asleep. If you didn’t know, last weekend [...]

Yes I’m off tomorrow for a solid weekend of drinking with my Scottish mates who I haven’t seen in ages! We are going to a tiny island off the West coast of Scotland called Islay. It’s small, and weirdly I have to take two flights to get there. I’m really looking forward to it though, [...]

Scotland! Home of the haggis. All year round - Burns night or not! I had my first trip to Scotland this year two weekends ago. I agreed to go and help the family move my sister Ailse out of her student flat in St. Andrews, as she’s moving to new accomodation at the start of [...]

Scotland! I love it, but I guess that’s because I’m from there. Anyway, later this year, I’ll get to visit a part of Scotland I’ve never been to before - the Western Isles - when I head off to Islay, pictured above.
My mate Nick’s soon-to-be-wife is from there, and we’re heading [...]
