I've been living in Scotland for a few years now and love my new home. I love that so many Davis peeps are making their way over to the UK lately. :-)<br />Hope you have a great time!Mrs. Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594661705192557311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-67706835130952904792012-04-04T02:35:18.501-07:002012-04-04T02:35:18.501-07:00I just died laughing about lord of the dance!

I love Downton Abbe...oh my gosh! this is awesome! <br /><br />I love Downton Abbey- I've only watched a few episodes, but I'm totally hooked, and I love, nay, am OBSESSED with Jane Austen. Last summer I read all of her books...I know- nerd. I have no tips for you except for take lots of pictures and write about it here so I can live vicariously through you!!!<br /><br />This sounds amazing- especially reconnecting with college friends. So happy.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17187112210052655908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-38445455239990643262012-03-29T22:58:02.382-07:002012-03-29T22:58:02.382-07:00Katie Scotland is so beautiful you will love it! E...Katie Scotland is so beautiful you will love it! Edinburgh was amazing, with its Castle and cobblestone. The gardens below the Castle are fun to walk in. We walked all the way to the end of the main street (Canangate) from the Castle to the Queen's Gallery, went south a little and then west again on a little trail through the hills and park to a tiny loch and Holyrood Park. We stayed at Castle Rock hostel, which was one of the favorite hostels I stayed at, because it has a lounge with muraled walls and huge sunny windows. We went to a restaurant around the corner from it called The Last Drop for Haggis and whatnot that I liked. There's also the coffee shop that JK Rowling supposedly started writing Harry Potter at, on a napkin, which a great view of the castle that I like to think inspired her. We also went to Glasgow, and walked around the university, which has a building that makes you feel like you're in Harry Potter, huge and all stone and absolutely beautiful, with stained glass. There's a also a neat botanical greenhouse arboretum there. Lastly, we also stayed in Inverness for a night and saw Loch Ness. I really liked walking around Inverness, you can eat by the river and we found a pub with great music. Hope that helps! I'm so jealous! You guys are going to have such a great trip :)Cindyhttp://clicker09.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-40635857867172703322012-03-29T17:58:47.797-07:002012-03-29T17:58:47.797-07:00How exciting!

I'm sure you've already heard this tip, but a friend tipped me off to Irish bed and breakfasts when Alex and I went a couple of years ago-- for only a few euros more than a hostel you get private rooms, friendly hosts, and the most amazing breakfasts of your lives! (Seriously, copious amount of delicious food that may keep you from needing lunch!) We just went off Trip Advisor reviews for the best ones and were thrilled with all of our finds! Yay for Downton Abbey too-- my favorite show, definitely want to visit there too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126045634012702114noreply@blogger.com
