I’m thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I’d be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I’d love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I’m sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.
Edinburgh resident here - yeah, the techno bagpipes stuff is a bit crap!
Edinburgh certainly gets busy in late July and August, since that’s when most of our various festivals take place. May and June is a great to to visit too though, and not nearly so busy.
It’s a great place to live, I love it here :-)
