I watch the travel channel and live vicariously through you all...someday I'll travel somewhere else besides the gym, starbucks and the oregon coast.velvett said:We been toying with idea of going to Scotland for Holiday, I've been to Edinburgh but my honey hasn't and I keep finding myself wanting to go to the Outer Isles.
Anyone been or from?
Suggestions?
There are so many regions I want to see them all.
Where to start.

Oh man there's so much to see. I'll break it down by area.
North: The Highlands
Loch Ness (my families castle ruins are just south on Loch Oich)
Dufftown
Ullapool
Glencoe
Glen Finnan (where the Highlander was from)
Cape Wrath (this is an allday trip)
Middle:
Stirling and Stirling Castle
Edinburgh and Edinburgh Castle
Linlithgow Castle
Near the Kincardine bridge in Airth is the Pineapple (cool building)
Kinross
Culross
Largs on the west coast
Glasgow(haven't spent a lot of time there but it's the biggest city there)
Dundee
St. Andrews
South:
Dumfries
The Midlands
Hadrians Wall (just across the border into England)
Cheers,
Scotsman
Mr. dB said:Aren't those all names of single malts?
Scotsman said:No that list is much longer.![]()

The only good stuff we have is whiskey / malts, and you'll be drinking lots of it to escape the fact that you paid good money to "holiday" here should you choose to do so.

velvett said:Aside from France it's the only other place I'm inexplicably drawn to.
I see the green countryside and cliffs and I'm home.
(I also never outgrew my thing for castles and dragons - but that's a whole other thread)
