What would you like to see more off on
Electric Scotland?
(67% of respondents made at least one suggestion)
Not surprisingly most suggestions were
for more on genealogy, clan histories and history stories. There were
however a significant number of requests for travel articles and
articles on places in Scotland from an historical perspective. There
were a number of suggestions for more modern Scottish articles and local
Scottish news. Many requests for more photographs.
What single aspect of Electric Scotland

Again not surprisingly most of the
comments were on clan histories, history stories, but a high percentage

What single aspect of Electric Scotland
disappoints you most?
(55% of respondents made a comment)
I was pleased to see that around 70% of
the comments were to say that they weren't disappointed in anything.
That said there were comments on lack of photographs, travel
information, recipes, genealogy, business and lack of information on
specific clans or septs.

If Electric Scotland offered a Shopping
Mall for Scottish goods such as tartans, kilts, clothing, clan products,
etc from a large Scottish retailer would you use it?
(It is fair to say quite a few comments indicated that a third
choice of "Perhaps" would have given a better quality response
to this).

(42% of respondents made a comment)
The vast majority of comments were on the
lines of thanks for the service and keep up the good work. There were
some questions asked which were responded to where the person left an
email address. There were also some offers of assistance. Quite a
few comments saying I should have explained more about what the software
mirror was and also quite a few suggesting I should have added a
"perhaps" option to a couple of the questions.
