Hi Miss Honeychurch
I've never been to Scotland, but reading that doesn't surprise me about Scotland or the rest of Britain in general.. Violent assaults are very popular over here espeically on Friday and Saturday nights when people have had a drink. I also noticed the British stood out when I lived abroad - during the summer season where I lived in the Canary Islands it is mainly british tourists (or lots more british) the bouncers and security of the bars and nightclubs have very much increased work with the trouble they get from the British fighting after they've had a drink. Where as in the winter when its more the Scandinavian people ~ the security have it easy, apart from when the odd British people were over and decided to fight.
I thought there was more violent crime related to guns and murder in America though compared to that of Scotland from documentrys I've seen on TV. I remember one programme I watched where american police officers were talking about an area where the weapon of choice was an AK47 or something like that and at the weekend there was so much murder related to drugs I think, that the police used a term called NHI when a body was found dead. It meant no human involved if I remember correctly...
Kind regards
Nick
