[00:00:00] This is 63 Percent Scottish, a Scotland Appreciation Podcast.

[00:00:30] This is every visitor to Scotland should check out.

[00:00:33] It's just an even museum in Betty Hill.

[00:00:36] Alright, number two, what is your favorite uniquely Scottish word or phrase?

[00:00:43] I'm going to give you Galaxies.

[00:00:45] A cheek and a nose, low-haen, each doesn't come by itself.

[00:00:49] Hages and come by itself, and I should have expected it to be in Galaxie.

[00:00:53] Of course, of course.

[00:00:55] Number three, who is one person from Scotland's past or present that you'd like to have a beer?

[00:01:00] A bitter whiskey, iron brew or coffee with?

[00:01:03] And would you like to have a beer whiskey, iron brew or coffee with them?

[00:01:06] I would like to have a beer with Nicholas Sturgeon.

[00:01:10] Nicholas Sturgeon, interesting, okay.

[00:01:13] Former S&P Scottish National Party Leader for anyone listening who doesn't know Nicholas.

[00:01:19] Number four, what is one popular misconception of Scotland that you'd like to dispel?

[00:01:25] That the Scots are tight-fisted.

[00:01:26] I mean, I think it's absolutely the contrary, especially the Highlanders.

[00:01:31] The very generous people.

[00:01:33] That's funny. That also came up last year with an episode that seems to be something that is really sunk in.

[00:01:41] I understand it entirely.

[00:01:44] And number five, is there anything you'd like to know about Canada as a LIMV source of all Canadian information?

[00:01:51] I would like to know, where is the best road route to Chavel by Pushbike?

[00:01:57] Well, you know, I'm not 100% sure I could give a perfect answer for this.

[00:02:04] But I do know that there is a fantastic route around in Cape Bret, Nyland,

[00:02:10] which might be ideal for your heart.

[00:02:12] For what you'd be.

[00:02:13] Yes, yes, and so I think that'd be your answer.

[00:02:18] That'd be the perfect answer for you.

[00:02:19] That sounds great. I look forward to doing it.

[00:02:21] I'm going to go even in search of that.

[00:02:23] Thank you so much for joining me.

[00:02:25] Thank you, Evan.

[00:02:58] Thank you, number six.

[00:03:00] Your support is never taken for granted.

[00:03:03] Until next time.

[00:03:04] Goodbye.
