According to the reports on the first three days Scotland is not much over four days (Wednesday, 20 October 2010) to say.
A church jumped on the way to the bus before the lens (ie the London Road Church ) - by the way again in glorious sunshine ...
... before we even should then eventually jump into the plane.
be quite that fast but it does not go: We were at the airport on time, but not our machine. With the late arrival of the aircraft delayed the departure of course, after about half an hour standing around in Edinburgh Hairport but then we started last.
A final look over the Scottish countryside ...

epilogue
What's left to say? I can not repeat often enough: Who's going to Scotland, should spend more than three or four days. The aims of our tour could well fill, two weeks, and large parts of the small country we have not seen it.
Who really such a plan intends to travel, but would like to establish a travel guide, which I would like Wikitravel put your heart - this is true not only for Scotland travel. In addition to my UK travel guide from the early nineties, which I dug with my parents (and besides Wikipedia) was this page - sometimes in German, mostly in the English version - my primary source of information for travel planning.
on a sensitive issue, I would like to draw your attention - that Scottish bank notes and conversion problems:
know this, we must, in addition to the Bank of England also some Northern Irish and Scottish bank notes in pounds sterling issue . They look different than the "official" English banknotes. Whether they have a different legal status, from which I was not very clever, but is important to know that they are in Scotland as change in cash and get at a bank machine and that they are readily accepted everywhere in Scotland. And only in Scotland. Apparently you can already in England when paying so that their problems (which I could not check), the latest attempt at redemption in a German bank. Result for me: I am now sitting on 60 pounds of Bank of Scotland I wohl erst bei einem neuen Schottlandbesuch wieder loswerde. Was man vor seiner Rückkehr also unbedingt versuchen sollte, ist, entweder seine Scheine auszugeben, oder sie möglichst in einer Bank vor Ort in die "offiziellen" englischen Banknoten umzutauschen.
