A little uncertain about the palm trees and southern Scotland - but I guess they reflect the warm hearts.

Yes, the Gulf stream is a blessing - up here by the Arctic Circle it stays nice and mild (relatively, that is  ) all year, and green grass is not uncommon in winter. The small-boat harbours never freeze over here - which they do on the south coast of Norway (no Gulf stream).
