Land of Enchantment
My wife and I have visited Great Britain on two occasions, and while there is a whole world out there to see and explore, we are drawn back to the British Isles. As beautiful as England and parts of Wales are, they...

Pros: Breathtaking scenery, lovely people, many historical places to visit, great architecture.
Cons: None for me
Being born and brought up in England, Scotland had always been one of the places that I intended to visit, but never quite got around to doing so. That is until a couple of years ago. As an extended weekend break for my Husband's birthday we booked a ...

Scotland on a Budget – Oh, Aye!
When I remember our two weeks in Scotland I think first of two things: the unspoiled loveliness, and...food. Then I think of all the things we didn't do, and begin to dream of our next trip to this wonderful...

Pros: Friendly, attractive small town with many sightseeing opportunities
Cons: Shopping opportunities are limited
During our recent trip to northern Scotland, we spent two nights in the picturesque town of Forres, about twenty miles east of Inverness. Since this little town wasn't mentioned in any of our guidebooks, we thought there might not be much going on in...

Cons: We had to leave...
Blair, Glamis, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdour and Dumferlime—every castle we visited in bonnie Scotland said Welcome in its own unique way—until the particular tour was over and it was time to hit the road. But when we drove up to the Leny Estate in...

Pros: wonderful gardens, handicapped accessible, friendly people, my red Rhoddy, NO RAIN
Cons: hoof-and-mouth prevented us from seeing the castle ruins
Sadly we left Dublin in the wee hours of the morning and headed to Glasgow. This time we rented a smaller van than the one in Ireland. (Allison’s request) From Glasgow we drove to Castle Douglas, a town near Threave Estate. The original plan was to stay...

Pros: Great music, interesting exhibition of local events, food and culture, can't beat the people-watching opportunities
Cons: Hard to avoid spending lots of money on victuals, wassail and souvenirs
Last weekend, we took advantage of a last-minute free flight and spent two days in the Inverness area, enjoying gorgeous scenery, perfect weather and warm hospitality. One of the highlights of our trip was an afternoon at the Inverness Highland Games....

Pros: Compelling ancient site easily accessible to most visitors
Cons: Poor signposting leading to the site from some directions
Standing stones and chambered cairns. Barrows and cists. Henges and hilltop forts. Cup-and-ring markings. Broches and crannogs: These are more than just the terms used by archeologists to categorize the prehistoric relics of Western Europe. For...

Pros: Beautiful, lively city with deep history and tradition
Cons: umbrellas and hills
Geographic, historic and climactic features combine to make Edinburgh, capital and largest city in Scotland, an absorbing mix of experiences. Although on the rainy June day we confronted the mass of stones and rocky precipices that is Edinburgh the city...

Pros: Castles, Lochs, Friendly People, Good Golf, Untouched open areas, Pubs, Legends + Lore
Cons: Currency Exchange rate, weather (to be expected), cost of gasoline (petrol)
After watching the movie Braveheart, I was driven to visit the land in which my favorite movie is based. It did not disappoint.
Scotland is amazing. It's small enough that you can loop around the whole country in about a week. But that's the...
