The whole Trump thing is all that's bad about "tourism" - Multinationals, little or no local trickle down economics (all the profits going off shore), targeted at the rich, etc, etc, etc.....

Don't feel restricted in commenting for not being Scots, coming from Clydebank (West Coast, lowland Scotland) is just as far away culturally from Aberdeen as "Down South" :-)

North East of Scotland "Fit Like, Ken!" - they have sub-titles up for other Scots when they have a fisherman from the East coast on TV :-)
