Too touristy. Head west coast. Avoid Ben Nevis unless you want to see a fat lass from stoke walking her dogs while eating crisps "climbing the highest mountain" on the way to a heart attack.

As someone said earlier the rural spots are the best. Less twats. And I'm scottish! Try crinan, applecross, glencoe for starters.

I did the hiking bit just after Easter, and we took routes that were off the beaten track. We hardly saw anyone during the day.

I can say much the same about the Yorkshire Dales in tourist season. Stay clear of the tourist traps, take the proper clothing and associated kit and you are OK.

Every nation on earth has a chip on the shoulder about somebody, except for the Italians. They have a noodle on the shoulder.

And the Irish, they've got a bit of a shortage on the spud front...

Maybe we can send some over ... not the good stuff mind, just the left overs... they won't mind, something's better than nothing right? Or do you think they'd hold a grudge?

Only for about 300 years or so...

They can balance by carrying a pig under each arm.

I went on holiday to Scotland in 1976.

That long, hot summer of immortal memory.

Droughts everywhere.

Except in Scotland.

Where it rained.

It didn't rain where I was, floating in a rubber dinghy in the middle of Loch Long! Sunburn on my shins!!! That bloody hurt!
