-- Scotland for Americans --: Shinty: A Unique Scottish Sport
http://scottish4ever.blogspot.com/2008/02/shinty-unique-scottish-sport.html
THE LATEST SCOTTISH NEWS! THE LATEST SCOTTISH WEATHER! Friday, February 8, 2008. Shinty: A Unique Scottish Sport. Shinty is a game similar to hockey and lacrosse. However, it is different from hockey and lacrosse in that the feet can be used to stop the ball but not the hands (unless you are the goal-keeper). You can carry the ball on your caman (stick) which can be swung above sholder height. It is a fast moving game where being physically fit counts. Very impressive when seen in person.

It is the sporting event that takes the headlines. The fans react to it similar to how we react to March Madness. Scotland is struggling lately to do well in the tournament and unfortunately England has a very good team, which can get upsetting. The six teams are: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Rugby Rules ...

-- Scotland for Americans --: Golf: Scotland's Game
http://scottish4ever.blogspot.com/2008/02/golf-scotlands-game.html
THE LATEST SCOTTISH NEWS! THE LATEST SCOTTISH WEATHER! Saturday, February 9, 2008. Scotland and golf is like saying America and baseball. Many Americans go to Scotland to golf as if they are on a religious pilgrimage. The scenery at most Scottish golf courses beats what you see in the United States. Like many things in the United States, we make things a bit more sterile, commercial and of course, we must drive instead of walk. With the ocean in view on every hole it is a stunner. It is also very eas...

THE LATEST SCOTTISH NEWS! THE LATEST SCOTTISH WEATHER! Sunday, February 10, 2008. Golf: A Hidden Gem of a Course. The Falkirk Golf Club is one course for the tourist who does not want to pay a fortune to get a good round of golf but wants to play on a good quality course. It is conveniently located between Glasgow and Edinburgh. You can take the train and get off close to the course. It makes it easy for those who send their wives shopping and the boys want to go out for a day's round. I give you Falkirk...

http://scottish4ever.blogspot.com/2008/02/scotland-vs-ireland-they-arent-same.html
THE LATEST SCOTTISH NEWS! THE LATEST SCOTTISH WEATHER! Tuesday, February 5, 2008. Scotland vs. Ireland: They aren't the same. I will attempt to illustrate the differences and hopefully educate those who link the two countries. Ireland is a country of its own. It is an island by itself. Ireland's currency is the Euro. Scotland's currency is the Pound. Ireland has a booming software industry and is the "silicone valley" of Europe. Irish names begin with Mc. Scottish names begin with Mac. The Union flag (Un...

http://scottish4ever.blogspot.com/2008/02/accents-dialects.html
THE LATEST SCOTTISH NEWS! THE LATEST SCOTTISH WEATHER! Friday, February 1, 2008. The Scottish accent is music to the ears of tourists but at times the dialects can be very difficult. For example, watch this clip. The video will give you an idea what it will be like when you arrive in Glasgow and ask a bus driver for information. Don't be surprised if he gives you some of the same slang. For the most part, Glasgow is the toughest place to carry on a conversation. You may want to get a book that helps ...
