It's been a joy bringing my son up here - camping holidays, looking for blackberries, campfires. He did say to me once 'Mummy, why do you like going for holidays where there's lots of grass and no shops?' He'll thank me for it one day!Clare Simpsonhttp://www.parentingacrosscotland.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455859244326726970.post-10522799911768756602012-10-02T10:04:28.901+01:002012-10-02T10:04:28.901+01:00I'm glad to say its not just Scotland where th...I'm glad to say its not just Scotland where this is true, although we also holiday in Scotland every summer!<br /><br />@petezanzottera <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455859244326726970.post-21513047007695364122012-10-02T09:50:47.704+01:002012-10-02T09:50:47.704+01:00Nothing idyllic about this at all, in fact I'd...Nothing idyllic about this at all, in fact I'd say it's the bare minimum we should ask for all Scottish children - the ability to explore their own country.
