I've already been told bout the midges (the irritating flies not swarms of dwarfs)

Anyway, Play nice I love you all...

You were in the North. They are almost as bad as you English.

He's from Livingston. I think.

I'm going to Scotland on Saturday.

I went to Safeway in Fort William. We were going on a school trip, and it stopped off in Fort William. I bought sunglasses.

Ahah, memories.

Here's my advice:

For the Highlands consult:

Cookie Monster

For the Lowlands:

Azul

Edinburgh:

Phuzzy,
Cubist

Glasgow:

Me
AJ
Notorious Biggles
Sheepy



That's about right. Yes?

We drove through Glasgow, and kept on driving....

I went on holiday around the Fort William area earlier in the year;

*Watch out for midges - they will invade through any open window, they will bite you - so take spray/candles etc to deter them

*The Scots rip you off for EVERYTHING, when we were there me and my dad made a hokey competition to find the highest priced things whilst we were there - records include £4.95 for a jacket potato and cheese, £3.95 for a ham sandwich, £1.95 for a coffee, £2.75 for a scone and jam, £8 for parking for the day....

*The Glenfinnan Memorial is worth seeing if you're in the area, and nearby is the Glenfinnan Viaduct, also know as the bridge the Hogwarts Express crosses in the Harry Potter films :)

*The Commando Monument - same kind of area - the memorial to all the UK commando's who have given their lives, the monument stands at the very centre of an area surrounded by five mountains.

*Cairngorms Mountain Range - this tram thing goes to the top where there is a base station, viewing platform etc

Really though it depends on the area, great scenery all the way though.

Well, it's not as if you can go around Scotland in a day. Whereabouts are you going?

What area are you planning on staying in?

I'm from Glasgow, so anything to do with the Highlands or Edinburgh I don't have a clue about.
