Thank you, kind sir. Two points. I am not currently there; my last 
visit was to a very different part - the Shetland Isles a year or so 
ago.  I live nowadays in the South-West of England, having been a 
London resident for many years (ex-pat Lancastrian). I think Kirstini 
has the honour of being the Scot and holding the residency 
qualifications. I can just visualise Hogwarts being in one of the 
remote Highland locations with the snow on the heights and the gales 
battering round Gryffindor Tower in the winter, as you yourself have 
suggested.
