When writing about Yuri's Night in SL my attention was drawn to the pipe-band. Today, I went back to visit the three Scotland sims. I strongly suggest starting in Scotland and exploring out from there, although the picture I've provided is on Eilean Donan Castle in the Eilean Donan sim next door.

The sims mix the almost inevitable shops, plus beautifully scenic builds like the castle. In absolute fairness many, but not all of the shops are themed to Scotland - you can buy yourself great kilts and tartan trousers for example, and the other shops I checked at least had a celtic crafts theme. The actual builds are strongly reminiscent of shopping in Edinburgh too, rather than it being a case of "yet another shopping mall" so congratulations to the builders for that.

If you hunt around you can find a list of things to do in the Scotland sims. I won't spoil it for you - except to say it does include chatting to Nessie. If that's not enough to tempt you over there, will anything ever do it?
