Largs is a great place to take children when you visit Scotland and if this sounds like a travel brochure...thanks! I'm a travel writer with children and an eye for what keeps them busy. It is about an hour drive from Glasgow on the West Coast (you...
Pros: Spectacular scenery and championship golf in the north of Scotland Cons: No quick and easy way to get there

Vacation in Scotland? You don't want to come to Scotland. Not if you're looking for sweltering hot sun, suntanned-glistening bodies,long sandy beaches and a highly raucous nightlife, you don't. Of course, we do have all these things, but only rarely....
Pros: Spectacular views, impressive stone monuments, and a congenial host Cons: Somewhat difficult to find
Just so there's no misunderstanding, Cairnpapple Hill isn't that easy to find. In October 1999, its location was not well signposted from the main road through Linlithgow. We misplaced ourselves both going and coming, so I can't be particularly helpful...

Scotland is all about scenery and history. It's an absolutely breathtaking place to visit. There are castles everywhere you go, both furnished and in ruins. I really liked exploring the ruins best. I could just imagine what it must have been like. The...
Pros: Friendly, attractive small town with many sightseeing opportunities Cons: Shopping opportunities are limited
