I must admit that I've spent a lot of time walking up Scottish mountains in fairly dreich conditions - just makes me appreciate how utterly glorious this wee country is when it's not being dreich. :-)

Edit: From the comments on that BBC article:

Glasgow woman sits in the dentist's chair.

"Comfy?" says the dentist.

"Govan" says the woman.

Edit2: When I was a child I would have asked where someone was from by saying: "Far are ye fae"....

As a sassenach that took me a minute (even with your helpful addendum)...
