Love the museums in both cities, but they have short hours. | |

It's very hilly! Lots of high roads, not many low roads. Be prepared! | |

Posted: 4/15/2007 10:51:52 PM | hey there, thanks for all the input. I for the most part I am set!
I arrive into Glasgow on the Sunday morning, I will spent a couple days with family in the Saltcoats, area. Then I am signed up for a tour that goes to the Isle of Skye, up into the Highlands, and the Orkney Islands. This tour will be a week long expedition! Then I was thinking fo taking the train into London for a couple days and then back to Scotland.
I can't wait!! I hope that weather will be nice, I hear it has been quite sunny over there lately! | |

Posted: 4/16/2007 3:13:50 PM | Jaye, I would recommend taking a flight instead of a train down to London. I'm landing in London on my way to Scotland. My original plan was to go down to Brighton for a couple of days and then get up to Scotland - but the cost of a round trip ticket from London to Edinburgh was huge. I booked a flight with BMI for 75 pounds for a return flight - London-Edinburgh-London.
I think Rynair does the flight up to Glasgow, but not to Edinburgh and I wanted Edinburgh. Might be a thought - flight instead of train. | |

I highly recommend the St: Andrews area for visiting. Just be cognizant of the fact that you will not understand a word the Scotts is telling you lol! | |

Posted: 4/23/2007 6:44:30 PM | This is the most healING place in the world.
Had a broken heart and couldnt cope. Therapy,pills,and other assorted nonsence
wasted my time and money...untill i rented a car at the airport and just drove, stopped to sightsee, eat,talk, stay overnight in the cutest hotels....and I healed.
It was one of the best experiences in my life. The people are warm and friendly,dont care for the food,but they made this jersey girl feel welcome.
A blessed place. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 12:19:47 AM | I didn't spend much time in Scotland just spent a few days in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Glasgow, stop by one of the Willow Tea Rooms interesting architechure by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Modern Art Museum, on Sauchiehall, take the train to Pollockshaws see the Burrell Collection, the Pollok House is interersting too.
Take a loop on the underground, it was known as the clockwork orange because of the small cars which were formerly painted 70s orange, they are now the custard and blood color. Get off at the Kelvinhall station and take a 5 minute walk to Kelvingrove Art Gallery
Edinburgh is far more touristy then Glasgow, do the castle tour, do some shopping on Princes Street, perhaps stop by greyfriars church (near the great museum) to see Greyfriars bobby the dog who for years sat beside his masters grave. | |
