I have two lithuanian friends and they're addicted to Iron Bru, it always amuses me watching them with it.

I watched a tv program about marketing and they said Coco Cola are the main soft drink or own the leading soft drink in every single country in the world except Scotland. The Scottish number one drink being Iron Bru and they won't sell to Coco Cola and it really really annoys Coke.

How great it would have been if South of the border we had put two fingers up to coke and had Top Deck Shandy as our number one national drink

The only reason Irn Bru out sells Coke is that it has a higher sugar content and the jocks are all about health drinks so this one wins hands down. Got to respect Scotland sticking it to Coca Cola.

When my mum first announced she was moving from Essex to Inverness 7 years ago everyone went on about how much the Scots hate the English.

In 7 years she has never (touch wood) had any problems and loves living up there. My brother now lives in Glasgow and he has had no problems either.

The Scots are a great group of people

And give me a can of Irn Bru any day over a can of coke! It's a fantastic hangover cure too

Yeah, Ulster.

Scotland's great, as are the people.

It doesn't always rain, in fact, it is more often than not fine, whenever I have been.

In early Feb 2011, I was in Edinburgh for the rugby and the weather was so mild we didn't need jackets or thick sweaters.

Sometimes it hails, sometimes it snows, almost always it is windy. And on rare occasions we see an orange thing in the sky.

As they say about Scottish weather ... if you don't like it, give it 5 minutes.

I spend most of my holiday time in Scotland, especially the Highlands. Amazing place, amazing people!

I am English but have lived in Scotland for many years. In my experience "people are people" and in Scotland, as in England (and probably everywhere else) there is the usual mix of good, bad and indifferent folk.
Believe it or not it certainly doesn't rain here all the time - although sometimes it does feel it's never going to stop - at times the weather's lovely!

Tried asking for a 'chip butty' in Aviemore once. The lady was most confused. I had to just say 'chips in bread'.

Anyways, I also love Scotland and spent many happy times there! Soon as I can I think I will move there. But I love Yorkshire too.
