Hi -- Johannes asks about Scotland. Scotland is full of country (and
city) bed and breakfasts, many at quite reasonable prices. In fact, in
many driving tours of Scotland, we have not booked ahead, counting on
finding b&b's wherever we end up....and we do. Some of them are real
treasures and some just ok, but never a bad one. We like to go best in
second half of May, first half of June---esp. if you are going near any
of the cliffs where the seabirds are nesting. Weather can be variable,
but we have always had a fair bit of sun and blue sky, and temperatures
vary from short-sleeve to sweatshirt to sweater and jacket sorts.
Don't miss Sunderland in the NW--that's the heart of the beautiful
Highlands with spectacular mountain and loch scenery. Also, the
Hebridean Islands are fascinating and charming. If you want some more
specifics, let us know. Cheers, Pat in Baltimore
