Cooling my heels for two weeks in the UK

[Phil]

Edinburgh in August is Festival time and accommodation tends to be expensive and, unless you book early, scarce. Glasgow should be OK though and it is only a 30 minute train journey through to Edinburgh. London is always expensive. I suggest you try Trip Advisor for Edinburgh and you might get some suggestions there for self-catering places in and around Edinburgh.

I was going to ask about time/cost/distance between Glas & Edin and you gave me the answer. There is room for me in the Clan Crawford Homecoming so this is shaping up to be a fine holiday

For a short stay in London, check out the Morgan Hotel - right around the corner from the British Museum, just a few short blocks from everything else.

Don't know how they do it, but the Morgan provides a comfortable room and nice breakfast for a lower price than places that have reputations as absolute hell-holes.

The suites are especially nice - decent-sized sitting room, tiny (microwave) kitchenette, great bath, etc.

And, yeah, do get yourself to Ferintosh.
