I totally get many of the reasons for it but when price is a consideration then it's difficult to make a case for Scotland sometimes.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We were out as a family of 3 on Sunday. We stopped for a late lunch. 3 bang average fish & chips, 2 adults and a child portion, 3 soft drinks then we moved on elsewhere for 3 ice creams then a beer garden for a pint and another 2 soft drinks. Add in bus fares and I didn't have much left out of £100 for that.

Off to York in a couple of weeks for a few days. First break for a few years that it's just me and the wife since our daughter was born.
Really looking forward to it, especially as all restrictions should be lifted dan south by then.

Just back from a week based in Exmouth, enjoyed the piece n quiet and it was very relaxing. Great to visit other places in Devon, which are top class.

We were in Dumfries and Galloway last week and it has to be the most underrated area In Scotland.

Been and there and you're right, it's very nice.
On PB's point about the cost of simply going out for dinner in the UK versus elsewhere, me and Mrs M were actually just discussing that this morning.
We went for a meal yesterday at an Italian restaurant in Glasgow and we were comparing the costs to what we used to pay in Munich... which is not especially renowned for being cheap... and we reckon it costs us between 30-50% more to eat out now than when we stayed over there.Last edited by Keith_M; 10-07-2021 at 09:15 AM.

Just back from two weeks in Cornwall. This is the fortnight to do it if you’re planning around Scottish school holidays, End of June start of July it’s still relatively peaceful, but you could really feel the roads filling up over the last few days and I think when the English holidays start properly it will be absolutely rammed. So I’m not sure it’s a recommendation as such, maybe for 2022. My first time in the ancient leg of England and I’ll be back without a doubt. Beautiful, largely unspoiled, great immaculately clean beaches great food. But as others have said eating out in the UK is more expensive than the rest of the world, and not by a small amount.

In Pitlochry until next Saturday with the wife and dog. Weather OK. Supposed to improve as the week goes on. Plenty of drink in our Log Cabin and loads of walks with the dog which will include many visits to the local pubs. 👍

We had five nights in Llandudno a couple of weeks ago. Lovely and relaxing. Weather wasn’t great, but there’s something so relaxing about hearing the sea while you’re in bed.

The Moulin Inn and the old mill I know are dog friendly.

Just been over on mull for the last week staying near tobermory, was really good getting the kids out and about, we took the kayak and paddleboard with us and they were loving it, found some cracking beaches and walks as well, next to no internet or phone signal either which was a bonus

It certainly doesn't strike me as a place that discriminates against homosexuals.
If you're going away for a "lads" trip with 3 or 4 mates you may have some convincing to do before you'll be accepted but two guys or two girls in a relationship would have no problem being accepted from what I've seen of it.

Went to Harris last year and absolutely loved it, midges apart. We stayed in amazing cottage in Tarbert. Was about 10 minutes or so drive to Luskentyre beach and about 40 minutes from Stornoway. Will definitely be going back there but will maybe leave it till September in the hope the midge season is over.
Currently I'm up in Balintore, not far from Tain, with a lovely beach about 100m from the place we're staying. Decent boozer by the looks of it but I haven't been in, just been sitting in the garden instead
