    How did you vote? Number 2 is not surprising, but the kilt???

    Hi,

    Very interesting list but I was surprised to see "Nessie" wasn't amongst the top picks; unless perhaps she is considered to be included in #20.

    It is interesting...I know the the wonders of a single malt but it surpasses all others but the Forth Bridge? I don't know.

    Great to see the kilt made the top 10 (6th). Malt Whisky was no suprise. I was a little dissapointed by Ionas performance. Can you guess how I voted ? :rolleyes:

    Some good ones and some disappointments, but by and large a great list.

    David, I can guess that we voted pretty much the same way.

    I am glad golf was lower on the list, but disappointed curling wasn't even listed ;-)
    Seriously, a very good list.
