Guest alex Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 From another Aussie who was in the UK last October I can definately recommend setting a bit of time aside for Scotland. Spent 6 nights in Edinburgh which was probably the longest we stayed in one particular place, but definately worth a visit and then also from there getting into the highlands, we did the touristy thing and took tours but was well worth it in a sense you actually learnt a bit along the way.All of that of course will also be affected by where you stay. Word of mouth is generally best way to decide on places, certainly made the difference of having a great time in Edinburgh compared to a less than enjoyable one one at an absolute dive in York (the backpackers that is), which as well as Newcastle is well worth a visit. If you're wanting to do the touristy thing in Lodon make sure you have some days set aside and plan where you're going or else you end up wandering around forgetting half the things you wanted to see...then again that might have just been me. Most of the time we travelled via Bus rather than train, tended to work out a bit cheaper albeit longer, but most services will go to the major centres. The Highlands and the Western Isles are great. Mull is particularly beautiful and pretty accessible compared to most of the others. I'd say 6 days in Edinburgh is a bit OTT if you're on a tight schedule though.

Edinburgh's just about the poshest city in the UK. Obviously it has its shitholes. It's not like 'Trainspotting' these days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
