Back home from vacation in Scotland/Ireland - oh, the food....
Hi Ophelia
I booked all the accom in Scotland on the 'net before I left
Australia.3 nights in each so one can really relax and explore the
region.
First off, Balerno near Edinburgh, 7 miles out, close enough to take
the bus in for day trips. A lovely B&B called NewMills Cottage.
Then we drove to Fort William where we had a s.c. apartment in town so
we could do some cooking! My sister is a great cook, we both love it.
Day trips to Skye, Oban etc.
To Elgin in the north to explore the malt whisky trail - we caught the
tail end of the festival in Dufftown which was a hoot -- the dregs
party at 6pm on the last day, 3 dozen bottles of the best malts to
finish off - all for a fiver! We stayed at town mansion B&B in Elgin.
Last night north of Dundee, a beautiful B&B mansion called Duntrune,
just charming.
This was my third trip to Scotland after 28 years, it was a thrill to
be there and show my husband. We loved it.
Cheers
Bronwyn
