Which are the sunniest areas of Scotland and England respectively?

Generally, Scotland is more cloudy than England, due mainly to the hilly nature of the terrain and the proximity of low-pressure systems from the Atlantic. Even so, parts of Angus, Fife, the Lothians, Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway average over 1,400 hours of sunshine per year.
The sunniest parts of the United Kingdom are along the south coast of England. This is largely because the formation of convective (cumulus) clouds takes place over land, and the skies over the sea remain cloud-free.
Many places along this south coast achieve annual average figures of around 1,750 hours of sunshine.

The above was taken from a mag. l was reading.

Looking outside now it is overcast and raining but no complaining as this past week has been lovely. Take each day as it comes is my motto, especially now that l am living back here in Scotland. Yes, l miss the blue skies and sunhine much but everything here is also very lush and green. I know that we will eventually move down south to enjoy the better weather ~ for me also to be able to grow more tropical flowers.
The East coast of Scotland is cooler but drier, inland around Lanarkshire you can have large amounts of snowfall. Here on the west coast we have the benefit of the Gulf Stream and where l live we have our own wee micro-climate. The snow doesn't last for too long and we can even grow palm trees!
When out shopping this morning the woman serving me was saying how she felt depressed today because it was so dull. Whatever the weather we need to look on the bright side, easier said than done, l know but lets at least try.
Weather forcast for tonight: Dark.
