Where would you live

[Graham]

Floowing our trip to Scotland I asked my wife where in Scotland would she like to live if we moved there.
She said she's happier in Tasmania, but play the game anyway.

She said Fort Augusta, I thought Skye would be a nice place to live.

Where would you live if you had the choice? ..either in Scotland or anywhere else.

[Colin]

Drumnadrochit, Portree, or one of the smaller towns near Inverness. (Scotland)

just outside of Dingle, Inishmoore, or Galway (Ireland)

I would like to try out New Zealand and Australia and I would also like to try living on the other side of my country, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island perhaps. As for locally, I have my eye on a ranch between the interior and the okanagan where the climate is perfect for having a winery or a guest ranch.

Don't know much about Scotland, though it sounds alot like Kodiak, where I spent several years.

I'd love to go there and find the right place.

Otherwise, Kodiak, Northern Michigan (including the UP), or any place like it. Forests, mountains, water all in one place.

I'm sure my wife could be convinced, she loves travelling and moving to different places (hey, I'm a clergyman, lots of experience).

The only place I can't live is somewhere dry or arid. Her asthma is very bad in dry weather.

Skye, huh? hmmmm More info, please.

Galway, Ireland, t'would be a bit of heaven, though Michigan's UP (in the summer) would be nice too.

Scotland: Inverness, anywhere near the River Spey & Monarch of the Glen Country.

Canada (in general), but specifically Nova Scotia, Alberta or BC.

US: Maine, Northern Arizona (Flagstaff), Missoula, Montana.

Cheers,

Todd

Graham, we spent a couple days in Dunoon and both liked it, a lot.

If not there, then I will just settle for where I am going to end up anyway, near Stirling. Puir me, eh? ;-)

At this stage of my life I would choose Edinburgh...I like the hustle and bustle of the city but yet it is not overwhelming like NYC. The arts, the culture, the feel, the look of Edinburgh would be my choice. But I think I would choose the areas around Nairn to live out my retirment.

Somewhere on the west side of the Puget Sound. I love that area. My inlaws live there and I can't imagine any place nicer for someone who loves the outdoors and the small town life, yet still wants to be close to a big city.

If in Scotland - my experience there is limited but my wife and I have said over and over that when we go back, we want to spend some time in Stirling and the environs. I think I could live in a place like that. Lots of history, close to plenty of hiking and such, not too far from a major city (two of them!)... yeah, that'll do.

My wife has relatives in Stirling area and that is my favorite part of Scotland because it is also within striking distance of Glasgow and Edinburgh. However there is a little town in Northern England above Manchester in the Rible Valley however that I love called Clitheroe. It is just a Northern farm town, but to me it is heaven.

I'd like to return to Islay. It's sad that there's virtually nothing left there but the distilleries. Since the creamery was closed, there almost no dairy farming left; and fatstock is down, since the scrapies and foot-and-mouth epidemics; and the EU fisheries quotas have hit the island hard. It's a pity that all it can offer people is work at the whisky distilleries, and some sport shooting which is an indugence of London City bankers and brings in almost nothing to the island or its communities. But Gaelic is still spoken there, there's quite a lot of young craft-making setting up, and the kilt is often worn as a matter of course.

Other than that, I'd like to live in Southland NZ, around Wyndham, where I have cousins, or maybe a bit further afield in Otago, say Dunedin.
