RE: Typically Dutch! Clouds, water and ships and some rain of course!
I think you also have your share of clouds in Scotland! And rain.
I have a niece living in Lochgilphead on the Scottish west coast. When we visited here some years ago she said to expect either rain or when the sun was shining there would be small, stinging insects. We had the insects!
Oh the midgies!!! They are awful. Like mini mosquitos only there are millions of them that hang about in swarms!
I have been there (Lochgilphead) its very nice. I am a west coast man lol!
We call them mietsen, it's rather the same word as midgies. To name them mini mosquitos is quite right. They were very annoying and the other day my legs looked like I had the measles.
Once I had over three hundred bites ! (my girlfriend counted the little red spots) I was ill for three days, it was awful! They are the curse over here!
