Hi and welcome to episode 3 of Scots Spill the Beans. 

I’m Kim McAllister and today I’m asking an Australian’s opinion on Scotland.

Jack Derrick left Tasmania last summer and landed just as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival kicked off. He’s working as a physiotherapist and trying to get his head round our Scottish English – You ken fit like it is? 

(You know what it's like)

26 year old Jack travelled 11,000 miles to live and work in Scotland. 

He has seen falling snow for the first time, puzzled his way through the varied Scottish accents and achieved a dream by working in professional football.

He's fascinated by the country's history and has already found some gems:

Kyloe Restaurant, Edinburgh

Glentress Forest Mountain Biking - Scottish Borders

The Balmoral Hotel Edinburgh

Glenmorangie Whisky

Irn Bru

The Trossachs

Calton Hill

Arthur's Seat

North Berwick Beach

Loch Tay

Bracklinn Falls, Callandar
