I was born in Bonnie Scotland, but came to USA when I was about 6 years old. I’ve been back twice and have family in Sterling. I also have family in New Zealand. I realize this is a UK site and am wondering how many Americans, Canadians, or other folks from around the world we have here. Let us know.
Cheerio the noo.

I think there are quite a few from the US. Everyone is welcome. Stroke does not discriminate between nationalities. Just remember when we talk about health systems we are normally talking UK and the NHS.

Hi @Outlander. My husband grew up in Stirling, we went for a visit 3 weeks ago to see family. It is a beautiful part of the world. Bonny Scotland indeed 
.I 'm a Yorkshire lass living long term in Geordie land ( Newcastle/Northumberland) which is very lovely too. Sorry I get this is not what you were asking. Easily distracted

@JuliaH Can’t believe I spelled Stirling wrong…lol Blame it on my stroke hand. Also Bonnie is a lassie’s name…Bonny is “lovely”.
Yorkshire is such a beautiful place. I love the YouTube walks thru the area. I like to watch “All creatures Great and Small”. The countryside is unbelievable.
