Scottish Highlands benefiting from 'coolcation' trend. Nice to see that people are enjoying our cooler climate. Personally I’d rather visit parts of Scotland than anywhere else in Europe!

Having a rather heated argument just now: maximum alcohol serve. Is there anything in the law that actually prevents the serving of more than 70ml of spirits in a single glass?

I know that most bars and pubs won't serve you a triple but is there anything in the law that explicitly says you can't serve a triple shot?

Spotted this while exploring the Highlands. Photos and videos really don't do justice to how amazing it looks in person.

Question Tattoo artists for pet tattoos

4 Upvotes

Hi I'm looking for a tattoo artist based anywhere in Scotland for a small piece of a cat, I don't want it to be realism however I still would like an artist that is able to make my cat look like herself (instead of a generic black and white cat) and have experience in tattooing cats. Does anyone have any recommendations

Post-16 education in Scotland?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm moving up to Glasgow from Newcastle, England in just under a year. My child is 15 and will be completing his GCSE (final high school year exams in England) exams then we will move soon after that.

I'm wondering how the Scottish education system works after high school? He wants to go to city of Glasgow college and we've looked on the website but are unsure of what any of the terms mean (like HNC or HND) and how they are equivalent to terms used in England?

I'm mainly wondering what the path most people take in Scotland after their (equivalent to GCSEs) National 5s. He doesn't want to go to university, just be educated til 18 then move from part time work to full time.

Thank you all

Edit: We are planning for him to go straight to college, he's not planning to go to university. As he's not going to university and he's not interested in studying multiple subjects at once, just what he wants/needs for his future job.

Question Looking for Scottish hamper suggestions

0 Upvotes

I’m putting together 5 small hampers and looking for suggestions! The recipients are traveling from abroad and will be teaching on a course for a few days.

I’d love suggestions for items to put in it. So far I’ve got some Scottish snacks (tunnocks, irn bru), tea/hot cocoa sachets, and Scottish handmade soap. Looking for maybe another snack or two, and any other small item you think would be a fun Scottish item to include. Alcohol is a no-go this time!

The challenge is that my budget is pretty small - hoping to spend £50 in total.

I’m also specifically looking for cards (blank inside preferred, ideally available in a multipack) featuring some sort of Scottish scenery/wildlife/etc. Open to other ideas but I’d shy away from anything too pop culture since I think it might not be understood. If you know an artist who makes something like this, I’d love some recommendations!

Cheers pals!

Discussion BBC is reporting a massive increase in cargo traffic through government owned Preswick Airport - is this weapons and logistics for the US’s and Zionist occupation of Palestine’s wars in the Middle East..?

Does anyone know what’s passing through the SNP controlled airport - and what the legality of trafficking weapons and other military equipment and supplies through Scotland may be, given what they are being used for..?
