CNN names Scotland as world’s top travel destination for 2013

I read only the article and avoided the comments because I'm tired of people believing that opinion equals news. The right approach should be nothing less than warm wishes and congratulations for a nation that despite a complicated history (not unlike any other nation) has also a rich practice of hospitality reaching back many centuries. I am planning my first ever trip to Scotland this spring (Lewis/Harris, Perthshire, Mull, Iona, and Edinburgh). I have spoken on the phone and corresponded with folks in accommodation, transport and tourism and what a wonderful experience this has been with helpful and just plain fine people. I am excited about visiting Scotland and congratulate its people who work very hard to help strangers like me feel welcome before I even get there. And just one more thing... I can also say that there's a fair amount of glass-half-empty sods on this side of the pond, too. I just don't have time for their energy.

Indeed, well stated ***!
