FORGET the Grand Canyon or Disneyland, for those on a budget, or simply feeling patriotic, here's the Great British Bucket List.
As an antidote to spending thousands travelling the world in pursuit of almost impossible ambitions, this is a purely homegrown 50 Things To Do Before You Die list.
It includes everything from seeing travelling Scotland's west coast by rail, climbing Ben Nevis to eating haggis on Burns' night.
But topping it all is the simple, affordable but truly British pleasure of tucking into fish and chips while sitting on a pier in a typical seaside resort, it was revealed.
The list, from a survey of 1,000 British adults by search engine Ask Jeeves, ranges from the cultural to culinary and sporting to sightseeing.
For those who cannot afford to climb Kilamanjaro, it recommends climbing Ben Nevis.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
