[looksgoodinred]

I once went on a golfing holiday in Arran. Was wonderful.

[Redforever86]

Or jeans and Arran sweaters.

 

Its Nae exactly paris, is it.

Less Paris, more Harris.

[dave_min]

 

 

I've never actually visited.

 

I'll maybe take new gf there

[Bluto10]

Less Paris, more Harris.

 

Except it lacks the scenic beauty of the western isles.

 

Basically its the worst part of the UK With no redeeming features.

[rumpus]

Tree less, windy, barren, permanently dark in winter, locals who are terrified of the mainland, stupid little donkey things, incest, suicidal tendencies because of sheer boredom.

 

I'd rather cut my penis off than live in Orkney. Or Shetland.

[Bluto10]

What do they use for fire wood if there's no trees?

Is it peat?

That's very quaint.

you might not want to live there, but would you visit?

[Bluto10]

I always say if you'd like to visit then its worth living there; give or take.

i'd have to disagree. it's worth visiting almost everywhere.

 

but only sometimes do you find the place so to your liking, that you'd actually want to stay and live there. and you won't know that for sure without visiting sometimes.

[Bluto10]

Aye I said give or take.

 

But in the western world if you have a desire to visit somewhere its generally a place worth living in.

I want to see them build a boat out of peat... see how far they can row it with its peat oars.

Chinese people call me Aran all the time.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

They have now replaced the stolen plaques.

 

The Cathedral dates from the 12th century - building started in 1137.

Thank you.

 

Sounds like the place would be pretty dull, were it not for the Holy Catholic Church eh?

 

You could have looked this up yourself.

Indeed, but then I prefer to manfully bond with your good self Harcus

[Clydeside_Sheep]

A big supplies.

[ebbe]

[RAZOR]

Chinese people call me Aran all the time.

Also your reply when I asked you about Ebbe dishing out haircuts, 'Aran'

 

[rumpus]

The Orkney Islands, one of the remotest parts of the country, have been named the best place to bring up children, followed by the Shetland Islands and the Western Isles.

Scotland dominated the top 10, while the South East occupied 11 out of 50 places in the league.

Already a popular tourist destination, a combination of high school spending per pupil, small primary school classes, minimal traffic, and a low population density saw the idyllic archipelago of Orkney top the 2015 Halifax Children's Quality of Life survey.

Children on the islands have £10,821 on average spent on them - above the national average of £4,560 – and are taught in classes sizes of 18.

And when those children grow up, they are likely to find employment, and will be among the happiest, most satisfied, least anxious and most content adults in the UK, according to the study.

Interestingly, the islands earned the accolade even though 56 per cent of households have access to fast broadband – significantly below the UK average of 86 per cent.

The famously rugged Western Isles and the Shetland Islands shared similar traits. The former have an average of 69 vehicles per square kilometre - compared to the national average of 9,459 - while schools on the Shetland Islands spend more than double the national average per pupil.

Magnificent photaes. I wish I could learn to take good pictures.. everything I take ends up looking like it was taken by a blind 5 year old with Parkinson's.

[E-P-K]

 

Spectacular. Did you take them or were they sent to you?

 

 

No I never took them, Someone I know did.
