Name:
Location: Inverness, Scotland

I'm a Brit/Yank who has now settling back in Scotland with wife Tracy after living in New Zealand and traveling in Australia for a couple of years. Having contributed random thoughts on life in the Antipodes I now blog some impressions of returning to my native Scotland after 22 years away, and also document my marathon training to keep myself motivated. I post pictures at www.timcooke.com which also help to tell the story of our travels.

New Year

It is clearly considered to be a drinking holiday here but nowhere near on the scale of Scotland - where the rush in the off licences (beer/ liquor stores) has to be seen to be believed. Getting drunk on the beach seems to be popular and several busy beaches nearby have one night "liquor bans" to discourage the practise. Public drinking is allowed in most of the country except in marked liquor ban areas, mostly in town centers.
