I just have to be careful, that's all, since this is my first major trip on my own, sober.



HA! good luck with that. Glasgow is like Amsterdam, and Belmont Street in Aberdeen is where it's at as far as pubs and restaurants.

Some good eateries I recommend are The Bothy in Aberdeen, The Prestoungrange Gothenburg (for some old fashioned type Scot dining) located in East Edinburgh and the The Garvald Inn in Haddington.

Castles? Hit up Edinburgh Castle, Craignethan Castle in Lanarkshire, St. Andrews in Fife, Kilchurn Castle in Loch, Dryburgh Abbey, Findlater Castle in Aberdeenshire, Culross Palace in Fife, Stirling Castle and of course Roslin.

If you can, or have time, mos def try and go to Iona Abbey. It's one of the oldest and most important religious centers in Western Europe.
