I live here and it's shit. Most people are in the central belt and it's probably one of the most bleak places in Britain. It's cold, the people are cunts, the infrastructure is shit and there's few opportunities. The only redeeming factors are free uni and cheap housing.

The Highlands and Islands are beautiful but if you actually live here you're probably not going to see them much if ever. Scotland is great for tourists, but it's probably one of the most dilapidated places in the UK to be stuck in.

>>57930539
True and what I was kind of meaning, which is what I'm not used to. I actually like snowy winters, I hate the in-between weather where it's chilly and wet, not warm enough to be enjoyable outdoors and not cold enough for beautiful snow. To me weather should be dry and warm, or cold and snowy. I prefer -5 and heavy snow in January over 5 and cold drizzle

Also causes SAD I think. Snow has a bit of a comfy romantic feel, while cold rain always has a bit of a sickly and depressing mood to it. Just my opinion though, I was raised on northern winters

Gaidhlig has as many (if not slightly more) speakers than Irish in total numbers. All we need to do is convince the Jews to teach us how to bring back languages from life support.
