1. It's always cold and wet. Warm to them is 75.

2. Not at all impressed with the selection of females, although I was single when I last visited. 

3. Beautiful countryside- a land of never ending photo ops.

4. The accent can be brutal once you're outside the cities.

5. Haggis is disgusting.

6. It's all white. There might be 4-5 people of color in the entire country.

7. Have fun, become a part of the culture and people, not a bystander. Don't be the "ugly American."

the cities are old world charming, but get out in the countryside as much as possible. go to glencoe, an hour or so outside of glasgow, and spend a day or two hiking up into the mountains. just don't be a fuging idiot like me and climb without gear. you'll get stuck. everything is always wet. the moss is wet, the rocks are black and slimy and you will slip off of them and die.

inverness is cool, rent a car or bike and take the road around the eastern side of loch ness, it's by far the best. all the properties have public access points with wooden steps to take you over the fence, so you can traipse at will. climb ben nevis. you think you can understand the scottish accent but you can't. the castle at urquhart is awesome, especially the trebuchet. the cider they brew there is delish. take a couple days in the cairngorms, it's gorgeous. avoid the william wallace monument during school hours, the little buggers invade the place for field trips and ruin your gaze over the stirling battlefield. take ryan air to jump to sites farther afield in europe while you're there but don't bring bags.

have fun! scotland owns

Good for you op. The semester I spent in Edinburgh was some of the best months of my life. The train is cheap. Buy a ticket and go places. The friendliest people I've ever met. There are good looking girls,  granted most are from London.  Maybe I was lucky but it didn't rain nearly as much as everyone says. Oh,  personal opinion but skip Glasgow. Get to the Lake District in England. Get to the Highlands. Don't let a day go by without seeing something new.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
