One of the fun parts of taking a trip is the planning. What to see? Where to go? Where to stay? If you're interested in scenery, history and whisky, Scotland offers an abundance of possibilities, really remarkable for such a small country. From what I've read, there is beautiful countryside and spectacular scenery throughout, and castles and distilleries near every loch or glen! As for accommodation, we had few requirements, aside from our own bathroom, having decided that, no matter how quaint it may be, we're too old to stagger to a bathroom down the hall! I have noticed that accommodations in the UK have made a lot of progress toward this end, as most specify facilities 'en suite.' On the other hand, it is more difficult to find rooms with private telephones. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to be cut off from that aspect of civilization! While our itinerary is still in process, we have made some decisions. Here is a general overview of where we will be and where we will be staying in Edinburgh. |

At the beginning of the trip, we will be in Edinburgh for a week -- eight nights, actually. We were particulary taken with Newington Cottage. The rooms seem spacious and they have refrigerators! The location is also very convenient to the theater. | |||||||||||||||
Near Edinburgh Airport | |||||||||||||||
Our flight home is very early on Sunday morning, so we needed a hotel near Edinburgh Airport. Actually, I think it's in the airport! On our last night in Scotland, we're staying at the Hilton. | |||||||||||||||
