'Please stay with us in Europe': The French share their love for Scotland

READ MORE: SNP MEP to Europe: 'Leave a light on for Scotland'

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:
