The north west of scotland is by far the best part of the uk, (in my opinion mind), even in the summer it can sometimes feel like you've got the place to yourself, i love it!! over the last 20 years or so i've visited scotland on biking do's, family holidays and even with work and i can say i've never had an issue with locals, it is fairly obvious by my accent that i'm english but i've found that if your friendly and polite they are the same with you. on the subject of the welsh, i've had no probelms in wales either, granted i haven't been there as much as scotland but i've enjoyed myself all the same, yes i've been in a north welsh pub where all the locals have been speaking welsh, so what!!, as far as i'm aware they teach it as their first language in schools anyway so your bound to hear it, i've heard french people speaking french, spanish speaking spanish etc etc!. No probelm.
