You’re lucky you can get it in Canada. It’s banned in the US. Funny you didn’t have it in Scotland, though. You’ll need to rectify that with a return visit. 😉

I definitely plan on returning and hopefully having a longer visit.

I was very happy with stays in Bed and Breakfasts. Love, love, love the friendly Scots and their beautiful accents! The best part, for me, was visiting mills and purchasing traditional Scottish garments- so lovely! I never did try haggis there, but eat it all the time in Canada at the Scottish pavilion at my home city’s cultural fest called Mosaic!! Ironic!! Aaah, Scotland, I miss it so!! Hope you get back again some day Talon!!

I think perhaps we’ve been to too many castles over the last 9 months to be too impressed by that one. Although I will say I’m envious of the view the former residents had! Your time in Scotland sounds amazing!

Yay for haggis! 😉 What a great country.

What a great place to get married and honeymoon! Maybe would be a good spot for the 15th anniversary. 😉

We chose to get married and honeymoon there in 2000 and really want to go back sometime soon. We didn’t get to see as much of it as we would have liked, mainly just Glasgow and the Dumfries and Galloway region.

We started with a few nights in Edinburgh and immediately fell in love with it as well. We aren’t big city people, but felt like we could easily spend a few months there. The drive down the west coast from the north (Durness) has been amazing. We picked up a tent and have been doing some camping along the way on nights it doesn’t look like rain. We just left the Isle of Skye which was just breathtaking! We actually liked the castle at Loch Ness, but probably wouldn’t have gone had we not purchased the Historic Scotland Pass which gives us entry to all sites. We head to Glasgow in a couple days.

Well, if you get a full Scottish breakfast just don’t ask which is the haggis and eat everything. 😀

Pitlochry is quite gorgeous. Definitely a great place for an outdoors person.

I’m jealous of anyone who gets to spend a significant amount of time in Scotland. So cool! But a bummer you didn’t get to go around more. You aren’t kidding about the expense. I’m hoping to score some house sits there so we can stay longer and afford doing so. That whole 59 cents USD to the GBP really sucks.
