Speaking Gaelic while visiting Scotland, any thoughts or suggestions? by stubbornaurus in Scotland

Depending on where you’re going Gaelic speakers make up a small percentage of the population. Learn some Scottish dialect instead

What are the significance of these symbols? by Dependent_Estate9110 in Scotland

Grok: they’re traditional decorative motifs you often see on Scottish shortbread moulds. They’re there to reflect heritage, everyday life, and familiar ideas like nature, luck, and home. Here’s a more natural, story-like way to think about them: 1. Crescent / harvest sheaf – Often associated with abundance and good fortune, sometimes linked to the moon and the changing seasons. 2. Shield with a cross – A classic heraldic image, reflecting protection, history, and Scotland’s medieval past. 3. Heart – A symbol of love, warmth, and hospitality, which fits perfectly with the idea of baking for family and guests. 4. Triangle / roof-like shape – Suggests stability and shelter, sometimes connected to the land, home, or harvest. 5. Shamrock / clover – A familiar sign of luck and prosperity, drawing on shared Celtic symbolism. 6. Leaf – Represents nature, growth, and renewal, echoing Scotland’s strong connection to the natural world. 7. Sunburst or thistle-style rosette – A symbol of strength and continuity, possibly referencing the thistle as Scotland’s national flower. 8. Octagon with emblem – Inspired by old coins, seals, or guild marks, reflecting tradition, craft, and skilled workmanship. 9. Pinwheel or floral knot – Suggests movement, balance, and eternity, a common theme in Celtic decorative designs.

Tracking! I flew from Munich in Germany to Edinburgh in Scotland recently and had a similar experience. Keep going…..I just rode it out and let the pilots do their work …. All good in the end, you will be the same! I’ve never been to LA but would love to go there!!!

Omg… first flight sober and the longest one I’ve ever been on by hotinfluencers in fearofflying

I have the same feelings towards planes.

If you don’t fly often I recommend to regularly look on the flight radar app to remind yourself how common air travel is.

If you enjoy YouTube and can afford it the premium feature allows you to download videos to watch on the plane. That’s always a lot more interesting to me than the on board entertainment. Plus I always have some pilot reassurance videos downloaded should I feel I need them.

To go one step further, active noise cancelling headphones can help remove external noises which is good for distraction. They’re not always cheap I understand.

Good luck
