Scotland - What is there to do!

[Matblack]

OK the title is a bit tounge in cheek, I know there are loads of things to do in that slightly less civilised northern part of what remains of the English Empire

Aitch and I will be making our way up to the frozen north during the week leading up to the Edinburgh meet and I was wondering what to do on the way. I plan to drive up to the Lake District and overnight there on the first day and then on the second day get our passports in order and make our way through the security cordons and break out the weapons.

I've been refering to a guidebook and I'm conerned about how big the place is!

'Scotland,' it says 'is big. Really big. You wouldn't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it a long way down the road to the chemists but that just peanuts to Scotland. Listen...' and so on.

So I need a plan of some sort and an idea of place to visit in what I will for want of a better phrase I'll refer to as the bottom bit of Scotland.

We like looking at amazing landscapes, wildlife, and general act like pre-emptive OAPs and we'd like a relaxing time. I don't mind driving but I think that after the first day and with the prospect of driving back on Sunday in one long trip then it might be better to stay in the aforementioned bottom bit. We'll only have a couple of days and we'll probably make for Edinburgh quite early on the Friday to spend some time in the city

So, over to you......
