Would love to do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival..

It’s pretty exciting and there’s a lot on. Locals tend to hate it though as it gets crazy busy and all the prices go up.

On loan to Airdrie? No thanks.

Love Scotland
The scenery is amazing.
Glencoe has to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
This is coming from someone who sailed through the Lamaire channel in Antarctica numerous times.

I stayed in Tindrum near the Green welly shop for a few nights couple of years ago and drove through Glencoe a few times on the way to a Fort William. Moved on from there and spent a couple of nights on a campsite in Glensheil which was stunning. Visited Skye, spent a night in my van in a car park in a little place called Pockton or Plockton which was nice as it was right on the edge of the Loch, got as far up as Applecross pass which was an experience to drive up and over. Can’t wait to go back to Scotland though and explore further North, beautiful country.

Presumably everyone's deliberately looking over the fact that McGarr didn't play for Airdrie until his mid 30s?

Not me mate. Impossible to forget that.

Some scenes from the Wicker Man were filmed in Plockton.

Fort William is my home town. Made even more famous a few years ago when Sky sports did a section on them called "The worst team in Britain"
Considering they had gone 3 or 4 years without winning a single game, it was not without merit.

I love that comment - don't ask me why but it just smacks of a shrugging 'acceptance'

Rather go to Wales , but even then its full of Welshmen - The Weather is better, & just as scenic too.....

We finished rock bottom of the Highland league for something like 12 out of 14 seasons.
Used to be half decent back in the 80s and 90s, but when the Highland league effectively became the Aberdeenshire league, we couldn't compete with the money those clubs have.
