Trip to Scotland

[cessna152towser]

If you are into churches you really need to include the south of Scotland.
Scottish Borders has Jedburgh, Melrose, Dryburgh and Kelso Abbeys, all of which are cared for by Historic Scotland, and if you are on a walking holiday these are linked by the Four Abbeys Way. Or you could walk St. Cuthbert's Way and cross into England and over the causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne with its Lindisfarne Priory and St. Mary's Chapel.
Dumfries has Lincluden Collegiate Church and Sweetheart Abbey.
The south of the country is something of a drought area for production of single malt whiskies, but you could combine Glenkinchie Distillery with the Border Abbeys or Bladnoch Distillery with Glenluce Abbey over in the south-west.
I'll add some links to my photos of these Abbeys and Churches:-
