Pros: Fun boat ride across the river
Cons: 3/4 mile walk may limit access for some
Hidden away down South in the Castle Douglas area of Scotland, is a charming little castle called Threave. What a marvelous adventure it provides to visitors! Once you have driven down the wee lane, over the metal cattle gate, and into to the farmyard,...

Pros: Seaside activities, premier golf course
Cons: Too peaceful for thrill seekers
There is an amazing little town on the West Coast of Scotland, called Troon. Just a wee coastal village, it has become a resort to more inland Scots. The Old Course at Troon hosted the 1997 Golf Open, and is a popular course among golfers. I like...

Pros: Historic wilderness, majestic castles, seals, and sheep
Cons: Brown, treeless landscape, cold and rainy half of the time.
If ever there was a place apart from time, it is the Scottish Highlands. I traveled in Scotland with my orchestra in April, 2000. We traveled all over the country, but I was very much intrigued by the Highlands. Nature there is so pristine. The...

Pros: Nicely appointed rooms, reasonably priced, GREAT hosts, good food, peaceful
Cons: out of the way if you don't want to drive or prefer lively nightlife
I put so much time and effort into choosing just the right place to stay for my pilgrimage to Scotland that I want to share this with you.

Pros: Beautiful area that is rich in history and Geographical.
Cons: So much to do so little time.
Edinburgh is a beutiful area steeped in history and mystery. The area itself is a magnificent physical setting tied to key aspects of Scottish history. With spectacular scenery and lots of places to shop this is the place to go.

Pros: Beautiful, Lots of History, Accents, lots to explore
Cons: Hooligans, 1 lane roads, food
I went to Scotland in the summer of '97 with my father. We went for a modest 5 days, but those 5 days made me want to go back for a lifetime. We stayed in Glasgow but made trips all over the countryside south and north, over to Edinburgh and St....

Pros: Scotch
Cons: Hard to get to
We went over to Scotland in 1995 and spent a few days on Islay, I wish I would have spent more time there. Getting over to the island was expensive since we had a rental car and had to ferry the car over.
Stayed at the Lockside Hotel, a must...

Pros: Fresh air, friendly people,lots to see and do
Cons: England is our nearest neighbour (only joking!)
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....

If you don't mind a little wet cold weather and you want to see gorgeous scenery and meet some of the nicest people in the world, you must visit Scotland. Best time to visit, weather wise, is June through August. Time it right and you can catch the...

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: beautiful scenery, friendly people, cheap (believe it or not)
Cons: infrastructure, the food, upkeep of the country or urban buildings
*UPDATED* 07-05-2001
I am working in Greenock since 1999, which is very close to Glasgow. I am not from the UK and I have formed my own opinion on being here and the Scotland I got the know.
