Scots Ditch Family At Christmas Time

More Scots are opting out of driving home to see their families over Christmas this year than ever before. 

According to research published today by Green Flag, just a third of us in the UK will visit relatives during the festive season. 

1 in 6 of us in Scotland will choose booze over family, we can't drink and drive, so we'll dump our relatives rather than abstain from alcohol according to the research. And almost a quarter (23%) say the long driving distances puts them off visiting family in the festive period.
