  1. What a great idea, Cat. Some of the most interesting blogs are from Scotland. A few of these are new to me so I will enjoy exploring. An interesting footnote is that my husband went to John Stoa's art class in Dundee. He has a wonderful "Dublin Bay" rose growing up the front of his house!

  3. Hello again Cat, sorry to be so long in popping by to say thanks for adding my blog to your list :-)

    I agree with Janet, a great idea. If I'm not mistaken, this list has grown since I last looked! Again, like Janet there are some blogs known to me but others I look forward to discovering.

    Just to say, Perthshire is my location. I'm not in Perth. Oh yes... and I'm looking forward to browsing your blog too :-D

  4. Hallo Cat, I'm late as always, but can I echo Janet, Rosie and Shirl in saying this is a great idea? I too am surprised to see so many Scottish blogs I hadn't visited. I'm particularly pleased to see the island blogs, I hope to get some tips for gardening in high salt winds! Afraid I can't make any recommendations, you've mentioned all the Scottish blogs I enjoy (Yan waves at Janet, Rosie and Shirl).
