    I remember headlines like " "Scotland filling up!" when they found that more vehicles were going North on the Forth road bridge than were going south. It turned out that people planning a trip around Scotland would go anticlockwise.

    The "general" direction for an indoor roller skating rink is anti-clockwise.

    Having said that, I was recently told by a figure skater that they're always coached to perform their spins clockwise (ie. Turn towards the left). This is, of course, somewhat different to walking/skating in wide loops, but maybe still interesting. (Also interesting to me is that I do closer turns, like stops and forward to backwards transitions, turning to my right, ie anti-clockwise)

    I wonder if it has anything to do with 'handedness'. Do left handed people prefer walking clockwise?

    I remember studies on animals have shown the same but can't remember which. I found sheep at least do:

    During months of gallstones the pain would keep me up at night. Walking around the house in a loop helped me endure the hours.

    My loopiness was anticlockwise.
