Emily visited and played the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in September 2023.

Scotland in Manchester

Spotting an area of Manchester called Scotland.

While having a wander in Manchester I spotted a sign pointing to Scotland - so naturally I had to follow it.

It didn't take me long to find Scotland.

It's a small area off Red Bank in Cheetham Hill.

On our travels we've found 'A.N. Other' versions of a number of towns / islands / states / countries in the UK! These include the Isle of Wight and Ireland (both in Bedfordshire), Egypt (in Buckinghamshire), Oxford (in Northumberland), New England (in Essex), Canada (in the New Forest) and a pair of Lutons (in Kent and Devon).
