Hi there -- I'm starting this group ... as I see that there are quiet a few folks with Scottish origin, and I know that as a country of 4 million, there are not that many of us out here -- so we are hard to find! This meet up will act as a place for us to "meet up" and once we get enough of us, I can suggest a meeting place etc. I am from Edinburgh originally, I play the fiddle ... and I totally miss my Irn Bru in the morning! Would love to hear from you all!

Open to Russian Speakers, Russian Expats, Travelers to Russia, People Married to Russians, Russians Married to People :-), Parents Adopting Russians, People who have worked in Russia, People who have lived in Russia...
