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. Beautiful city. A bit crowded, but still nice. Once you get used to the techno-bagpipe music they play outside every shop that sells whiskey glasses, just walking around the city is fun in itself.

Aberdeen, on the other hand, smells like piss.

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 :-)

I visited your city back in '92 as a young man and was taken aback by not only how beautiful the city was but how kind the people there were. I got turned around one evening and some folks in a pub helped me get back to my hotel. Never once had an unfriendly interaction when I was there. I have long dreamed of visiting again, the city left quite an impression on me.

Glad to hear it! Like all cities we have the odd unpleasant character, but in general I think Edinburgh folk are pretty welcoming :-)
