Minted!

A shame the beach conjures memories of Billy Connelly talking about swimming over at Aberdeen in the North Sea :rofl:

Fabulous place.

The Italian Chapel in picture 11 has recently been in the news. Some scum bag has stolen 3 carved wooden plaques off the wall. The plaques were donated back in 1964 by the Italian POW who was the main creator of the chapel. There were 14 in total.

That is really sad. How on earth could someone do that.
We visited the Chapel earlier this year.

....compared to the Arctic sea.

But yes I have to agree Scotland has some fantastic scenery. I was up skiing in Aviemore earlier this year and the snow, forests, lakes and mountains were sights to behold. :thup: Definitely will be doing that trip again next year.

...and the country a predicted 750,000 would choose to leave in the event of a YES

and so similarly back to the Scotland Debate thread I guess

that's an interesting stat I havent come across. I am def in that 750,000 but where did they get the fig from?

Sorry - 700,000 was the figure. An opinion poll - extrapolated to beyond any sensible constraint...

I find it incredible that anyone would leave based on their vote not winning, from either side.

And to take that one step further, I hope anyone thinking that way does leave, whatever the result.Whoever wins next month we'll all have to contribute to make Scotland the place we all want it to be.

Apart from anything else - where would they all go; where are the jobs, houses etc etc? Currently 800,000 Scots living in England and I'm told by my English mates that that's more than enough

Reading the link, this is the number of people who would think about leaving, which is a big difference from those who would actually go.

Well of course no-one actually knows how many would leave - it's just a bit of nonsensical extrapolation of a poll to a ludicrous conclusion. But as with almost everything to do with the referendum it is conjecture. Nobody actually knows very much at all about a future Scotland after a YES - other than that Scotland would be independent - and that it would remain a beautiful and fascinating country. But this is for the Scotland Debate thread.

Sorry, I'll try to be clearer. My point was that the poll question was "would you think about leaving?"

I'd probably answer "yes" to that, although in reality I imagine I'd only think about it for a couple of minutes. My guess is that would be fairly common if people answered the question honestly.

If, on the other hand, the question was "would you leave?", I'd answer "no". I'd expect a very low "yes" response to that question.

Some lovely pictures of a very beautiful country.

The attached is one of my favourite English places along with Cumbria.
