John Barrowman talks about Scotland...

[fajrdrako]

In the current issue of Scotland Magazine, John Barrowman was asked:

Tell us about your five favourite places in Scotland. "I would say Glasgow over any other major city. I was born there and for me it has everything, and the people are really friendly and welcoming.

"Next would be Edinburgh for the Castle, the Royal Mile and The Witchery. I ate there once and if you want to find some showbusiness, this is the place, especially during Festival."

I've never been to Glasgow, have always wanted to go there. But I have wonderful memories of The Witchery. I was there at the tail end of a Dunnett Gathering - was it the one in 1994? I've seldom enjoyed an evening in a restaurant more.

Nice to know that Barrowman likes the same place I do. And he likes Robert Burns too - good choice!

“Burns Cottage is my final choice. As a child in America my mum and dad organised Burns suppers. We travelled around the States and my father would do the Immortal Memory, my mother would sing Burns songs.

Went to the Witchery for my birthday (I'm a poor student and can't afford to eat out much), and it was very good. :)

Just saw the last ep of TW-- wow.

That is so cool! How I'd love to be able to go there again for my birthday - not likely, but never say never.

As for the last episode of Torchwood - yes, wow.

I'm going to Glasgow for the first time in March for a Firefly convention, so I'll be interested to see what it's like. I've been to Edinburgh (which I love) several times but never made it to Glasgow before!

A Firefly convention - how wonderful! I am envious. I do hope you'll tell me all about it afterwards.

I've been to Edinburgh maybe a dozen times, and I love the city. But I've only ever been to the suburbs of Glasgow. I didn't plan it that way! Someday I'll get to see the city, I hope.

Yes, this will be my fourth Firefly convention so I'm a bit of an old hand at it now, but I'll definitely do a write up. There's a small group of us all meet up so they are getting to be more about the social side and less about the guests!

There really is nothing like sitting in a room with 800 people who are all in love with the same show...

Isn't it fun? I do love conventions. Wish I could go to all of them.
