We have been sending Olympic-themed mini-projects into school with two of our children for weeks now (torches, models of proposed Olympic sports, etc). I have no doubt the torch relay routes will be as busy around here as anywhere down south. On the Saturday morning it passes by us we will all be at Blue Peter live in Dumbarton and I suspect we won't be the only ones.
I have found that famous British reserve is far more pronounced in Scotland than it is in England and it doesn't pay to assume that reserve equals indifference. We are all very excited about the Olympics in our house. Cannae wait!
