Scotland's happiness index

A NATION of romantics may not be the first thing that springs to mind when it comes to characterising the Scots – but couples north of the Border are more likely to be content with their relationship than the rest of the UK, according to a new survey.

A poll carried out by consumer association Which? found nearly nine out of 10 adults reported being satisfied with their husband, wife or partner – 8% above the UK average. Northern Ireland was the only other area which rated the same score, of 87%.
