    Must be a real hardship living in a place like that, surrounded by all that beauty & tranquillity. Is that a river or a loch? As a Sassenach do the locals give you a hard time? { we know how much the Scots love us English especially when it comes to footie } ;)

    Doctors

    In the 70`s we had 2 doctors that serviced all the villages round here. No appointments necessary & they also did housecalls. It`s all gone pear-shaped since then. There are a lot more doctors now & they pass a lot of the work over to nurses. Sad. !!
