[AGL] Where to live?

[Wayne Johnson]

If you are going to move to Scotland it is important to do a few vital 
things:

One. Brush up on your Calvinism.
Two.Brush up on your Robert Burns.
Three. Brush up on your Scottish history, esp. the Bonnie Prince.
Four. Find a village near a provider of a really good single malt whiskey.
Five. Buy a lot of sweaters.
