Scottish pilots are cowards and are not afraid to admit it, and long may it continue .

Don't be put off by hearing that we fly in high winds, rain low cloud bases. Once you get used to its no problem. And you will be a better pilot for it. And the accident rate in scotland I am pretty certain isn't any worse than down south.

The scenery is great and there are some cracking fields dotted around with very reasonable landing fee's ( Stay well clear of ABZ GLA and EDI) all the rest around 10 quid or less PIK if you get the flying club to handle you comes out at about 10 quid including over night parking.

In INV last year I only had about 12 days which wern't flyable locally 8 of them due wind the rest low cloud.

Its well worth though having a valid IMC and being current on it.
