@FOXY:

Will be hitting town next week - any suggestions for food/dinner/shopping?

There is a thai restaurant, which I can't remember what's called OR more than approx where is, but I loved the food

If you are renting a car/going a bit about, let me know, drove a roundtrip in Scotland last year and hopefully I can come with a few more interesting tidbits than the one above.

You were going to glasgow too, right? I still recommend the huge graveyard by st. mungo's cathedral.

You may be thinking of this place: http://www.dusit.co.uk/ - it is really good.

We will try the Thai restaurant for sure!

I have been to Scotland in my early days quite frequently - I still remember Edinburgh fondly.
My wife though, being American, has never been to England or Scotland - so we decided to fly over, rent a car for 2 weeks and roam the country side. The plan is to fly into Edinburgh, next to Glasgow, get around Loch Lomond and Luss, off to Isle of Skye, over to Lewis & Harris, maybe Thurso and Orkney, down to Inverness and Loch Ness. That and all the castles along the way should do it.

Isle of Sky is great! Say hello to Storr for me!

And Orkney.. really, really beautiful. Quite a few sad/melancholic experiences too, like Wick, being a skeleton city now that the fishing is gone.

Saw this show about the Edinburgh vaults the other night. Any of you guys been down there?

Foxy, Orkney is so nice and so was Arran Isle as well when I visited last summer. Edinburgh didn't do much for me, I'm sad to say. Inverness seemed nice enough though, had the best lunch of the trip at a restaurant called The Kitchen.

Will keep that in mind if we make it or Inverness.

Edinburg is not our top priority, but our entry point - good enough for a day. Might want to drop by Aero Leathers on the way out…

We went last year, to St Marys Court, the old underground streets, great tour, very atmospheric.

Had diner at Dusit yesterday evening - definitely recommended!

The city was pretty much how I left it 20 years ago - did the Royal Mile, Hollyrood Palace and the town. The wife loved it.
Heading for Areo Leather today and further on for Glasgow.

The Witchery is an amazing restaurant near the castle, or it was last time I was there, you will need to book.
