Do they do "Farm Watch", but being Scotland things could be very

I dunno, not being a farmer.

Farm Watch is the rural version of Neighbourhood Watch it's open to
any property out in the sticks not just farms. Offical jungle drums.

Yes, both connected direct to their alarm companies. IME, the police
had generally heard about the alarm going off from someone local,
before they received an alert from the alarm company.

Ah so these places are not particulary isolated then if a local can
alert the police before the alarm co. Indicates that neighbours are
within indoor earshot at least, thats not very far with double glazing
etc...

I guess these places are around a 90 min drive from an urban/city
area.

No, that was just 15 miles from Glasgow.

OK I missed of an "or less" after 90 min... B-)
