As someone who lived there for many years, I would dare to contradict you. There is beauty in the many shades of grey.

When people ask me what it's like to live in Scotland, I tell them: The sky is gray, the buildings are gray, the people are gray. But if you go about 10 minutes in any direction you'll come across nature and it's just green.

There are certainly worse places, and the Shire is gorgeous. But it really doesn't help that it's so far from everwhere else (and I don't just mean London).

Even worse, I live much further south :)

I will say that Aberdeenshire is absolutely beautiful though.

Pretty much the entire Scotland has the same joke about Aberdeen.
