The thing that I find fascinating about Edinburgh in particular is that it's such a microcosm of everything I would want in a city. We've got the talent, we've got the engineering mind set, this is a nation that has invented everything that's worth inventing. That sort of mind set, I think, is incredible.

That openness, to challenge and to 'what might be' that Americans have, actually came from many Scots. And it's my conviction, that Scotland has within it, that core, that pioneering, that inventiveness, that risk-taking.

It's just absolutely been wonderful to get established here.
