About Scotlandish

Welcome to Scotlandish.com!

In case you haven’t gotten to connection, this blog is about Scotland. Ish. The blog is managed by a couple of University students from Finland, currently studying at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Glasgow. In Scotland. (See the connection?)
