Is this forum for Scots only?

There seems to be a lot from up north on here. Is it a co-incidence, or are you cruising mates? Makes a change from Solent dominated fora tho'.

Or have I got it all wrong? Any one out there cruise the N. Wales coast?

Nope... one east coasty here!

No, but we do get a substantial discount when we join.

There is a high proportion of Scots and honorary Scots and many of us have met and cruised in company but we welcome all, as long as they play nicely, even the English.

no, it`s for all sailors. presumably ( from your location and your question ) you are not a scot - but you are a member.
we even have a bm pipe band. the good thing about that ( if you are not an afficionado ) is you just have to look at it - there is no sound ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................as yet

and here ..... specially for you -

by the left, slow march.

i think they are playing the skye boat song.

No.

I would hope that all were welcome in this place.
I've never sailed in your part of the world but I hear it has its' attractions.
I did South Wales last year, Cardiff, Milford Haven and onwards
Very friendly natives, strong tides and good beer

second left, front row needs to moisten a reed I think.

Arghiro, watch out, all this pleasantness could be part of a grooming process where we invite unsuspecting foreigners to lonely places.

Stuff stays in the Out tray unntil the intended recipient picks it up, then it transfers into your Sent tray . . .

Thanks, that's better, but you do drone on a bit.

Thank ye all kindly. I will think on ye a wee while the morrow nicht wi' ma taties, puddin & neeps - aye & a wee dram o' wan o' ma malt collection. Perhaps a good strong Lagavulin, or a honeyed Balvennie - it will all depend on the strength o' ra Haggis.

I have enjoyed a potter around the Clyde & North to Loch Etive, plus a wee daunder around Rhum, Sleat & Plockton in my time. We know not to kill a midge; for a thousand pals will come for his funeral. I have had freshwater pearls out of the River Laxford too, so I am no a stranger to your bonny, but dreich, country.

Actually, I'm a scouser - so it goes.

If it's a square go you're after, we'd better move to scufflebut. This place is too nice to spoil.
