.... Scotty checking in! :)

I was raised in Bathgate and the family moved to Livingston when I was 12y/o. Worked in Edinburgh for almost 15 years. Most family/relatives are around Central Scotland, except my oldest sister who lives in Aberdeen.

.... jumped the pond in 2002 and now reside in the Okanagan Valley here in BC.

Well, that's the short version I guess? :rofl:

All the best.

all you expats seem to really miss square sausages! What about black puddings too?
My daughter made tablet and took some in to her work mates - they loved it and had never tasted anything like it and didn't know it by the name of tablet!
She has to take in a few batches quite often to satisy their sweet tooth.
Yes - we scots get everywhere!

... we have a local store which carries some Scottish products (including Ayrshire Bacon, Black Pudding, Square Sausage and many other goodies from home) ... a tad more expensive, so it's just a rare treat from time to time.

GOSH!! Tablet ... used to do the old T & M door to door thing as a kid back in Scotland and walked away with a grand £8-£10 at the end of the week!! :ohmy:

P.S. Aparently, there is still an ongoing debate whether Black Pudding originated in England or Scotland!?! :confused:

I know the very butchers you are talking about. Too bad he is shut today otherwise I would pop over and get some square sausage. :)

We can buy most products here in town - black and white (oatmeal) puddings are sold at the supermarkets and we can buy more home-made tablet and fudge than your teeth can cope with (although it's all called toffee). We even get Tunnock's teacakes, wafers, and caramel logs at a wee corner shop and the prices good at under $3 per pack. Barr's Irn Bru, Baxter's soup and shortbread are sold at most supermarkets. We can even buy haggis but the consistency is a little different :)

Tartan, pipers and fiddly diddly music abundant - Nova Scotia is more Scottish than Scotland lol

Im currently sitting in Stenhousemuir having just sent off the applications. Got fingers crossed that we get good news in the coming months and Im sure it will be one hell of a ride.

We've still to nail down exactly where we'd like to move to. Halifax has a big pull as does a few areas in and around Toronto but basically not trying to get ahead of ourselves. Exciting stuff though.

I think one of the main reasons for wanting to get away is to escape going to the football every week...

lived down Etna road for 7 years before that was New carron
