Overall

Scotland is a fantastic place to visit and the people are wonderful and friendly. We visited in 1998 and were very nearly adopted by our B&B hostess. Compared with England, Scotland is much less expensive to stay and eat. Pub meals and B&B's are a savings and accomadations are usually wonderful. Once getting downtown, Edinburgh is a great walking city. Shops are fun to browse. Make time to walk the Royal Mile, visit Edinburgh Castle and get your picture taken with one of the guards, see Holyrood House including the ruins and beautiful gardens. Maybe take one of the of the fun walking tours. If you are not brave enough to try Scotland's specialty dish Haggis (and I wasn't), start with their desserts. You should make sure to try Luxury or Millionaires Shortbread (depends on the shop) and Sticky Toffee - both are desserts we still fantasize about. I did not get to nearly enough while I was teher and an't wait to go again and fill in some gaps on my itinerary like the catacombs, National Gallery and more pubbing.
