come on, its on Harry Potter!!

then he goes over Glasgow, George square and you see the city chambers (which incidentally has the statue of liberty in minature on the top)

I'm not Scottish, but I recognised virtually all of them!

Did I see Eilene Doonan Castle in there?  Pretty sure I saw Edinburgh Castle as well.  I got the first one as well, but I've forgotten what it was already - I'll look again and post in a minute what I think it is.

There's a mistake in the George Square part - I could not see the mandatory traffic cone on the statue at the south west corner...

By the way - that's the wrong locomotive shown on Glenfinan Viaduct in the advert - that's an A4 class which would be eyebrow raisingly unusual on that line!  Not even sure if one has ever been along there at all.

Ah, yes, that's the rotary boat lift on the canal isn't it?

[****merlin*****]

tis indeed Petery

the Falkirk wheel

You are talking about The Duke of Wellington statue on Royal Exchange square outside the GOMA? 

The council are wanting to raise him to stop the traffic cones

as if!

[peteryola]

I thought they said last month they'd abandoned the plan to raise him because they realised it wouldn't stop it from happening and would just make it more dangerous?

[****merlin*****]

i didnt see

it was a silly idea

its not exactly small just now

they would still have done it, and like you said, more dangerous

i dont really know who "they" are

but i remember him having a cone when i was a little girl

[stroppy*cow]

Merlin - how can you claim to be Scottish and never have climbed up to put a traffic cone on the Iron Duke - used to be a "rite of passage".

you are correct saying its a rite of passage though

[dark_castle1]

you know you are Scottish when you know "aye right" means NO !

[dark_castle1]

Scots are the people that the romans were that afraid of they built Hadrians wall for protection because they could not conquer the Scots like they did the English.

[captainbovine]

I have a Scots christian name, although my father was Welsh!!! they went on honeymoon to Girvan and the landlady's daughter had my  name. They loved it and I got it!!!!

[dark_castle1]

CB, your mum and dad did not tell you the truth ! You are either named after an island about 15 miles off the coast of Girvan or a mental hospital a wee bit further north up the road  

[chickengrandma-2008]

It's obvious then isn't it!!!  

You know your mother hated water capt, your dad would never have got her in a boat to get across to that island!!! 

I love your name though.   Who wouldn't love to be called LUNGA!!  

[captainbovine]

A MENTAL HOSPITAL???????

that explains it then hahahahaaaa....er I prefer the island if it's all the same to you.

seriously though, I never knew there was a hospital there.

[captainbovine]

you know CG, you've just said something spooky there....how did you know my mother hated water?.....

CG,'s a clairvoyant!...get in line girls, cross her palm with silver

[chickengrandma-2008]

[captainbovine]

Inflation, inflation, it's everywhere!!!
