Just returned from 10 days in Scotland. Here are my personal opinions/suggestions. Driving in Glasgow and Edinburgh (for us right-side drivers) is tough. Have a good navigator and maps. Don't miss Stirling and St. Andrew's. Even for this non-golfer, the Old Course was incredible. Stirling area was great and Stirling Castle is a must-see. Argyll House B&B on Causeway Road in Stirling is a great location and Joan was a gracious host. If time is limited, skip the Isle of Mull. Balloch area at the south end of Loch Lomond was beautiful and restful. I would recommend Willowdale, a small B&B run by Geoff and Iona. Allow at least two days in Edinburgh. Take advantage of the Mac bus 24 hour ticket. The complete tour takes about an hour and the ticket is good for 24 hours of hops on and off. If you need to check e-mail, there is an Internet Cafe on Rose st. Enjoy the restaurants and night life on Rose Street as well.

Thanks njc. Are you planning on posting a complete trip report or have I just missed it?

We'll be there in June.

No, I don't plan to recap the whole trip. I guess I'm one who just prefers to give personal must-sees and so-sos. If you have any questions, please free to e-mail me direct and I'll help if I can.

njc, I'm ashamed to say I've lived in Edinburgh for 11 years and I've never been to Stirling

Well, Caroline, you need to go there. Stirling is a wonderful city. My daughter and I found plenty to fill two days. The trek up to Wallace Monument and the 246 stairs to the top were worth it. Stirling Castle is an absolute must-see. Don't feel bad, I'm in the US and have never seen the Grand Canyon!
