    When I went to Scotland, i thought I'd want fabric to bring back, but, as you said too was expensive. Even more so for me, because the dollar was doubled. it was the same fabric that we had in the states. However I bought back a few thimbles with a thistle on it. I think little things would be very appreciative. I know postcards would be fine.

    Thanks for all the good suggestions - there are quite a few castles in this area so will pop along with my camera and Balmoral, the Queen's summer residence is about an hour away. They call Aberdeen the Granite City because most of the building were built from granite from a nearby quarry, so it's quite striking in sunlight (when we get any).

    soozieq2 - I'll ask him if he's interested in a swap, lol

    annt59- I'm tickled that you like our Snowballs, but not sure if they'd survive the journey, but will look out for something to put one in in the cooler winter.

    Artsyone - I would never have thought of Salmon spread in a million years Great idea about Boots brand and Cadburys when your weather cools down.

    I've got some great ideas for gifts now, with the emphasis on local &b Scottish - thnks to all.

    I agree with pictures/postcards. Maybe candy/cookies made there.
