Torpar Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 A 13 B 13 C 7 D 9 E 7 Been to Dunedin, Florida and Hamilton, Ontario, one was nice enough, the other not so much. Was hoping to visit Tobermory, Ontario this summer but never not round to it yet. There are a huge number of places in Canada with Scottish names, the first immigrants clearly had no imagination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle Bonnet Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I took a short detour to visit the truly unremarkable little town of Glasgow, Virginia. Spookily, the song playing on the car radio as I drove past the town sign was Simple Minds "Don't you forget about me" There was also a Historic Marker Sign denoting the site of the first recorded skirmish between New World Settlers and Native American Indians...probably started by "What are you looking at?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I've been to every place in all the zones except Shetland. I've only driven through Aberlour and Tongue, I don't remember stopping there. Never been to any abroad, I've never been outside Europe. I echo everything good said about Peterhead Prison Museum. If you're thinking of twee places like Inveraray Jail, stop. I went one quiet day with the wind howling through the halls. It scared the shite out of me. Properly grim tales, disturbingly recent. And many of these guys are still walking around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
