Thanks! Hoping to go next year, perhaps in September or October, so I was glad to read about your experiences with the weather. Though it sounds like you hit a good spot!

Yes, I think we were very blessed. Sounds like the week before was very wet, and it wasn't as nice right after we left. So the key is to, always, expect the worst possible weather, whatever that might be, and be prepared for it--and then be jubilantly thankful if it's better! (A theme that can apply to almost all of life's circumstances, probably!)

Lovely trip report, texas - I just today found it!

We were blessed with ideal weather last May, although we also planned for rain. I think you have to do that for Scotland.

But isn't it a glorious place! It has definitely taken my heart and I hope to go again. Your trip report made me miss it even more.

Thanks, LCBoniti--glad I helped you recall some fond memories.

Yes, I'd go back in a heartbeat; M even mentioned returning in warmer weather with a rental car, as he found much to want to see more of, too.
