Welcome Seeker.
What part of Scotland, and why there?
(See how I'm not making sheep jokes? I think I've grown.)
I'm in the small town of St Andrews - lots of golf and pubs - a VERY small town. Why here? 1. Univ. has a good rep. and I can do my Ph.D. on my topic of choice, 2. born in Scotland, but moved to the States when 8, so cool to be back and 3. Why not? (I do like novelty!).
And, besides, the hairy coos are much more interesting that the sheep - ok, probably for different reasons!
