I seem to remember at least one other person on here from Scotland, so hopefully you'll get a response from someone soon.

If you are ever near Weem, be sure to check out the Menzies castle, haha. I was there for a glathering of the clan 14 years ago. I remember being really young and afraid of the Scottish cuisine they served us. I think I hid under the table, eating shortbread.

Oooh hello!

There are raw/vegan groups on meetup.com, but none that I know of that are fruitarian/811 based. I went to one of the raw meet ups in Edinburgh, which was fun, but tbh I have not put enough effort into seeking folk out. Want desperately to remedy that!

I would be game for any kind of meeting! Totally need a community. Are you ever down in Glasgow?

We have a group on here- not sure if we have enough folk to get a meetup going tho-

Nice to know you are here :-)

I am studying nutrition/dietetics at glasgow caledonian uni. And you are very right, you can get grants for being vegan/vegetarian. I got one!!!!!

apply to http://www.vegetariancharity.org.uk/

I got £500 at the beginning of my course. Pretty sweet- so grateful to them.

Let me know when you're down and we could meet for a chat, or a run!? I spy from your profile that we share a common running passion :-)
