Buy yourself a Scottish National Trust membership. It will pay itself back with entry fee discounts.

Head for Edinburgh (And please say Eddin-burrah, not Ed-in-burg like most yanks;
) ) as it has a LOT of historical interest.

Events for September.

In particular try and see some of the highland games and the Bannockburn Battle recreation. (The final battle in 'Braveheart' after Wallace's death)

Yeah, thanks, already been to those sites. Got a book called "Scotland Top 10" - can't recommend it enough. We'd been looking at a bunch of other books but this one was really focused, which is ideal since we're only in Scotland for 4 days after 6 in England. Even though the family is from Ayr, we'll likely concentrate on Edinburgh as we're very interested in many of the sites and activites within an hour or so of the city, not to mention the city itself.

(Not a "yank" by the by - Mother's maiden name... Auchinleck!)
