Welcome pack for Scottish expats
 
Hi Guys

I am thinking of organising a welcome pack for Scottish expats moving back to the country after living and working abroad. I wondered if anyone had some thoughts on what they missed most about being away from bonnie scotland.

Is it the full scottish, heart attack inducing breakfast? Lorne sausage, black pudding, haggis, potato scones etc.

The original amber nectar - irn-bru?

A good single malt?

Or is it good quality television? How about Scotch & Wry?

Would love it if you could let me know your thoughts.

:)

Good dry bacon - the Aussie stuff is WET you have to towel it off before cooking it.

Mostly the chocolate for me, but you could chuck in a Glasgow Herald I miss reading a proper paper sometimes.
