I just found this site and its great. I am of Scottish descent and live in the US. I am in college and I'm in a Cultural Anthropolgy class and I have to do a presentation. Of course I choose Scotland so I could learn more about my own culture. I would love to get some opinions and information from people who actually live there. Would anyone be willing to help me out. The information I am finding on the web just doesn't seem to really give me what I am looking for. Thank you, in advance to anyone who is willing to reply. Very Happy

Of course, mebuffyg, there are lots of people here who love to give their opinions Wink

Just post a "New Topic" on any of the forums, or carry on here if you wish - i moved your post to the "Introductions" as that seemed more appropriate.
A' the best,
Abieuan.

I just didn't want to step on any toes and ask a question that might be upsetting or anything to others. I'm mainly looking for information about how the school system works and honest opinions about wether or not Scotland should be separated from England, things like that. I know some can be controversial topics.

Thank you very much. I am so glad I found this site. There are some others that I have been on, but at least people will answer you on this one. Just keep in mind I am American and completely Scott-illiterate so bare with me if I say something wrong or don't understand..

Hello Buffy, welcome Very Happy

I am Scott-illiterate as well, being from the Netherlands, but until now, they have not tortured me yet here, although I must have made mistakes Wink
