what has Scotland got going for it

Top five KLF sites in Scotland: (5) Dunnet Head, nr. Cape Wrath. Where the K-Foundation pushed a car off a cliff in November 1995. (4) Dounreay Power Station, Caithness. The end of the journey for Bill in "How to Be An Artist" (3) Buckie and/or Macduff, Banffshire. As mentioned on "Who Killed the JAMs?" (2) Newton Stewart, Galloway. Where Bill grew up. (1) Isle of Jura. "Waiting", "Rites of Mu", "The K-Foundation Burn a Million Quid", etc. As far as music is concerned, there's a few good second-hand shops, especially in Edinburgh and Dundee, that keep a reasonable stock of everything - even rare KLF CDs and 12"s. Also, Scotland is the best place in the world to pick up REALLY early JAMMs stuff, mostly because some of it was only ever pressed here. Outside the realm of the KLF, there's a burgeoning Celtic music scene (some of which uses techno influences in quite a familiar way) as well as a very strong indie scene (try: http://www.vacant.org.uk/jockrock/ for a thorough overview). Seriously, if you're thinking of moving back to Scotland, I would check some of the solicitor/estate agent web-sites around and see what's on offer. Some areas (such as mine, north Aberdeenshire) are actually quite cheap - but employment choices are limited. On the other hand, Edinburgh is a real "boom town" at the moment, with flats in the centre of the city are selling for nearly a million pounds. And no matter how rare KLF5TOTP is - you'll never be able to swap it for one of those! Good luck, John Fraserburgh Aberdeenshire Scotland
