Planning a trip to Scotland

So the title says it all.

I'm going to Scotland next summer to hook up with my heritage, and I wanted to know, besides Edinburgh and Glascow, what were the best places to visit? Not the ones in touristic guides, I mean the true beauties that only scottish people know.

Since a majority of you come from there, I hope to get some suggestions.

(Scarletspeed, I forgive you for all the wrong jokes you may post on this thread. roll eyes (sarcastic)

They're all lakes. Can we swim there?

I forgot to add, I won't be taking any bus. It's all walking arround, possibly sometimes with angry scottish farmers on our tails.

Not sure yet, but probably Edinburgh. Afetr a few days, I'll take a bus to Glasgow. From there, it's all the way north on foot.

(I heard Glasgow people have horrible accents. Hopefully I'll be allright)

i would research your family history a bit more 1st....what's your surname?...if it's a Scottish clan then look up their history and find out where they are from in Scotland and check out the areas

as for general places to visit

Dunnottar castle is amazingly beautiful and has an amazing history to boot

it's like something out of Lord of the Rings

(please log in to view the image)

the scene in Braveheart where William Wallace sacks the English garrison was actually at Dunnottar castle

also Oliver Cromwell beseiged the castle and the Scottish crown jewels were lowered over the castle edge to a waiting rowing boat where a woman rowed them to safety at a nearby abbey...the jewels can now be seen in Edinburgh castle

I have a Loch in my last name. So I guess my ancient clan could be associated with a lake.

And that is a beautiful picture.

when you get to scotland, you may feel the need to bury your head in the mud or gauge out your eyes and cut off your ears, but that is completely normal and happens to everyone who visits scotland.

chances are your families history is from Lanarkshire somewhere around Larkhall south of Glasgow

which, to be honest, isn't the most appealing part of the country...hahaha
