Legendary US folk singer Peggy Seeger said she would love to live in Scotland if it wasn’t for one thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Scotland so much, I would live in Scotland if it wasn\u2019t for the weather,\u201d the 89-year-old told the Glasgow Times.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have loved Scotland since the very first time I went there in the summer of 1956.<\/p>\n
\u201cI decided to go on a motor scooter from London to the top of Scotland. I got as far as Aberdeen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Scotland\u2019s songs, the way the language shifts as you cross the border. I love everything but the weather, it\u2019s too cold,” she added.<\/p>\n
