Pros: The People, Scenery, History
Cons: None.
I travelled to Scotland a few years ago and it is by far the most memorable and spectacular trip I have ever had the pleasure to take.
When I was younger I had for quite a while wanted to go to Scotland after seeing pictures in books and...

Scotland is a beautiful and historic nation. There are a variety of places worth visiting depending on what you are looking for. If you are after awe inspiring scenery then a visit to the Highlands and Islands in the north and west is essential. In...

Pros: inexpensive outdoor relaxation
Cons: little excitement
Arran isn't quite a place that time forgot, but it has a bit of that feeling. Just offshore, an easy trip from Glasgow (40 minutes by local train and then you're in the hands of Caledonian MacBrane, the ferry company), it was a popular resort in the...

Pros: Great people in a welcoming country that is steeped in history.
Cons: It is a long plane trip but worth every mile!
Scotland----the land of warm hearted people, fierce loyalties, proud heritage and a deep longing to "come home". This is what my feelings were and continue to be for the country of my father's ancestors. My grandmother was 4 or 5 years old...

Pros: It's soul stirring.
Cons: None. I didn't have to drive.
We returned from 10 days in Scotland golfing the Whisky Trail where we studied and walked the finest stills and courses the gods have to offer -- Where The Water of Life meets The Game of Life. We stared at the scene in Carnoostie, where Van de Veld...

Pros: Lots of history, cheaper than London, great whisky
Cons: Bad weather may deter you - bring warm and waterproof apparel
Haggis and bagpipes, whisky and Scottish brogues - we saw, ate, drank and heard it all! What a fun place. We went June 17-19 for a quick stop from London and thoroughly enjoyed Edinburgh and what it had to offer.
We stayed at an average...

Pros: A good place to get your sea legs when arriving after a long transatlantic flight
Cons: Shedding it's industrial image, but still a very large city
If you are spending a week in Glasgow you have selected a great location to see much of Scotland. Glasgow is the largest city and industrial center of Scotland at 734,000 people as compared with Edinburgh with 440,000. In recent years it has tried to...

Cons: Lack of diversity
THE HEART OF SCOTLAND
By Meiste
If you want to know and enjoy Scotland, there's no better place to be than Glasgow. It's home to more people by far -- nearly 700,000 -- than any of the country's other cities. What's more, Glasgow is less...

Pros: Sincere, friendly people; spectacular natural and architectural beauty; rich, colorful history; great whiskey
Cons: Rains a lot; British Pounds mean many dollars
I stayed in Scotland for three months, and found the culture and the people to be just as refreshing on the last day as the first. It is a country where you're never a stranger; if you turn and say something to the person beside you he'll address you...

Pros: Natural beauty in a cool/temperate climate; wonderfully friendly people; reasonably priced destination
Cons: Driving on the left (wrong) side on narrow roads; confusing place names
Mom wants 400 guests at a lavish wedding at home. Bride prefers escape to a "destination wedding" in an exotic locale. What possible compromise?
This was my situation when I got engaged in September 2000. With the help of an unorthodox wedding...

Pros: Great info to find your way
Cons: Some planning necessary prior to your trip, but readily available when there
Maps of Scotland
When I first started traveling to Scotland I depended upon the usual maps you found at AAA. (These are still great for an overall look at planning.) I then used Fodors, Michelin, then even the Ordinance Surveys (My husband being a...

Pros: Gorgeous! Nature at it's best. Even the big cities are friendly and worth-while.
Cons: None, as far as I could tell
I spent a weekend in Edinburgh in September 2000. I was studying in London at the time and took the train up for four days. The ride up was gorgeous. Upon entering Scotland, the land turned a lush green and large hills covered with Evergreen trees...
