When I was a child, a lot of my time was spent in Scotland because my mother's Scottish, and we used to go up to Ayrshire and visit relations in a place called Dalry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a whole Scottish existence until we moved to London when I was four.
I spent loads of time in Scotland as a kid. My dad would take us back up to Aberdeen loads, and I have very fond memories of getting chips from his favourite chippy and heading down to the beach to eat Baskin Robbins ice cream.
My dad loved Scotland, so we would pile into his caravan and head for the Highlands, to Fort William and Loch Ness. It was such an adventure - my siblings and I were allowed to roam and explore the local beaches. We loved the freedom of those trips.
Of course I've had my moments of wanting to go back to Scotland, and I almost did a couple of times, but other things just came up.
I am more relaxed at home in Scotland, and my children are of an age where I want us, as a family, to spend more time up here.
Although I don't live there anymore, Scotland is a great place for the people coming over to visit and to tour around the Highlands, because it is a very magical place.
My great grandparents are Scottish, and I have this very tenuous connection which I try and bump up whenever I can, because I'd much rather be Scottish than English.
Scotland really is a spectacularly beautiful country with so much history. I always go to Culzean Castle in Ayrshire.
My family have been around Northumberland for five generations.
When I was little, I grew up in a place called Hertfordshire, which is just near London, but out in the country, and I visited Pakistan in the summers to go and see my family on my dad's side.
