Welcome!

Where in Scotland are you? Scotland is one of my favorite places in the world - someday I'll get to go back!

Ivano,

Welcome, it would be nice to see some great pictures of your MINI and the other Scotland MINIs.

Do you have a local club and what part of Scotland do you make home. I have traveled in Inverness, Isle of Skye the past few years when my son and his family were in Inverness. Great roads to enjoy a MINI.

The background image in my Picture is of a place in Glasgow called the Science Centre which is a Museum of Science... The building that looks like an aircraft hanger is a 3D Cinema Complex called the I-MAX which is superb.

Ivano,

Great galleries. Are you still doing the Cullen Run in July? That was a bunch of MINIs. It appears your website has not been updated in a couple of years, is most of your activity on the BB. It all looks good. I love the roads in Scotland.

I will check out more later.

Ivano, good to have you aboard. The NEWMINISCOTLAND site has been in my faves ever since our Scotland trip several years ago. Afraid we didn't get to spend much time in Glascow though. You know...10 days to see a country and all. My wife's mother's maiden name is McFarland and the whole family live in Glascow, Kentucky. Their line supposidly goes back to Arrochar. North LOch Lomond. The "home place" is now a hotel. Anyway I do hope your club puts up new pictures. They might be as close to Scotland as I'm going to get for a while.
