If you were heading up the tourism board for Scotland, and you spent $250,000 to have an agency create a new tourism slogan for your country, and your old slogan was "the best small country in the world," how would you feel about the following slogan, after 6 months of work?

"Welcome to Scotland"

Yes, that's what $250,000 buys you these days. Becuase I'm such a nice guy, I'll do some work for free here and give the Scotland tourism board a few other suggestions for free:

"Scotland, Ays Like Fookin Amasin!"

(Irvine Welsh readers will understand that one)

"If You Don't Like Scotland, You Can Hop Over to Ireland and Get a Guinness"

or

"Scotland - You Might Not Understand What We're Saying, But We Swear It's All Nice"

and finally,

"Scotland - We Promise It's Nothing Like Trainspotting"

Of course, a serious heroin habit might explain paying $250,000 for "Welcome to Scotland," so axe that last one.
