In a tweet Scottish Government-backed Scotland Is Now said: "Hey Europe, we think a lot about you... our common history, our holidays together and the warm welcome you constantly give us. Scotland is open to you. Share your message or photo expressing what you want to say to Scotland."
Hey l'Europe, nous pensons beaucoup à vous… notre histoire commune, nos vacances ensemble et l’accueil chaleureux que

vous savez sans cesse nous réserver. L'Ecosse vous est ouverte.
Partagez votre message ou une photo exprimant ce que vous voulez dire à l'Ecosse.#ScotlandIsNow
The tweet was accompanied by a link saying "chère Europe, vous comptez toujours autant pour nous" (dear Europe, you can always count on us).
And thousands of French people spoke of "la gentillesse des écossais" (the kindness of Scots) saying it is "un paradis" (a paradise) with "magnifiques paysages au son de la cornemuse" (beautiful landscapes to the sound of bagpipes).
Here are the best responses:

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
