Hi, Sarah! One of my good friends in high school left to go to college in Scotland.

Miller sure looks like a firecracker!

Welcome! I know several people (Border Collie trainers) who immigrated here from Scotland. A good friend is from the Borders, another from somewhere in the Highlands (he was a contract shepherd, I forget where exactly), and another from the area around Lomond. My own family is from Motherwell (grandparents).

There are ups and downs of both places, DH totally wanted to emmigrate and now that he is here for 4.5 yrs he has a more balanced view of here not just holiday here.

The weather is better though Big Smile

Hi Sarah! Welcome to the board. My ancestors are from the UK (Scotland, England & Wales) AND one of my dogs has been called a mini Border Collie. I have to laugh because he's a Papillon. Anyway, it's good to have you here.

My husband is from Dundee (Newport-on-Tay originally) and he immigrated here in '96 when we got married. There are actually like 37 Dundees IN the US and I think we've visited like 25 of them so far! *smile*
