Sounds like several X-Scotters are all making their first trips to Scotland this summer. All at different time, however. My trip is a package deal and I'm sure they hit all the common touristy sites, and that's OK. We will have some free time in some areas and I'm compiling my list. We start in Edinbourgh and our hotel is very near the castle. I have the castle and the military museums on my list, for sure. A day of touring and then it's off to Inverness, via Glamis Castle. I'm hoping that our time in Inverness includes a visit to Culloden Battlefield. I can't imagine that it won't be, but, not listed specifically. Then down the Military Road to Fort William, so I'm hoping we'll see the Commando Memorial and would be tickled pink to get to visit the Cameron Museum. This is the area of particular interest to me. There's more trip, down to the Glasgow area and then a ferry ride to Ireland.

I'm sure we'll eat very well, and I've been warned about the bakery's already. Don't leave until the 10th, but, I'm ready to pack right now--maybe a wee bit early.
