  Well - I would say that it is very scottish - planned on a simple grid - of one main street and another street at 90 degrees.
  I don't know of any English towns that look like this.
  Mark.

  hi mark,
  what i did mean is, if you for example compare penzance in cornwall with dufftown - for me there is a certain likeness .

  Well,
  I am always struck by the way things look differently to people from different places.
  To me - the scene is foreign and exotic - and it is Scotland.
  40 years ago - I was travelling in southern poland - when there were not many english people travelling in poland. An old Polish man asked me where i was from - and was surprised - he expected me to be german.
  Anyway - he started to talk to me slowly in german.
  He explained through a polish intermediary that the german and english languages were practically the same - and i was bound to understand him.
  He was astounded that i (knowing only English) struggled to understand his german words and phrases.
  To me they are two different languages - to him they are practically the same.
  A Chinese friend of mine - coming from a monoglot country - is always amazed at the variation of languages in Europe - and how different french and italian are from English.
  Mark
