So far, just in my dreams...but lookin' to make it practical....think if I did go it would be to explore the Trotternish on Skye...but hey, who knows. Never had a passport...guess its time to look into one.

Ron, a passport is like a drivers license, you will never no how much you have been missing and the sense of freedom it gives you until you have one. Once you do you will wonder how you ever got by without one.

Aye, my pal Jim and I will be in Edinburgh for 'The Gathering' weekend next July. Our accommodation has been booked for months and we are assured of our Silver Passports, giving entry to all the main events and places in the parade up the Royal Mile from Holyrood to The Castle. All we need now is the company of good friends (also assured) and fine weather!
Take care,
Ham.

Ron, and anyone who even daydreams about going: get your passport now.
Don't wait until spring; the process can take several weeks & may be longer than when I last did it (2000). You'll need to line up certified birth certificate or other documentation, which can also take time.
Alas, I don't think Edinburgh is on our agenda. Our choir has a date in Canterbury just prior, however.

Don't wait until spring; the process can take several weeks . . .
and the delays (logically) tend to increase significantly in the heavy-travel seasons of Spring and Summer.
I'm not backing down on my opposition to travel in general, I'm just calling attention to the advantages of doing things in the least expensive and inconvenient ways.
