Welcome from the Alamo City. Used to spend summers in your delightful country, sometimes the Christmas holidays. I had friends in London and journeyed forth on BritRail from north to south. Really miss doing that, but age gets us all. Never found Nessie, but did come upon a wild Scottish cat (a very lucky observation) while playing in the woods outside of Inverness. Still have great memories of the Cotswolds, especially Bourton-on-the-Water. Didn't care for Haggis, but loved the neeps and tatties that came with it. Also loved the ales. Great luck on your hunting. Find a Saxon horde...
