First went in 1997 and only saw 2 bands before leaving for hospital (friend broke their ankle climbing fence). Back in 2000 properly (tickets bought)
Left Scotland in 2005 and after immigrating to Canada, never really thought about it. Until I realised they have no real festivals in Canada comparable to anything in the UK. Started watching the highlights on BBC and pining for a return. Returned in 2017 with my wife and just loved every second of it. Missed out on tickets for 2019, but got tix for the next three years 2020/21/22 🤣.
Also plan on trying for tickets every year now and if successful will just try to make it work (also hope to take the kids in 2023/2024)
