Best Western Scores Hotel St. Andrews

... already know all the best spots!

We plan to visit Edinburgh before going onto London. As my husband is of Scottish heritage. I need MUCH advice on getting around Edinburg, Scotland without driving ourselve. We only have a few days before we head down to London so we would like to maximize our time there without being frantic

... but one side has nothing - it's just bare and exposing a monstrous building left from the time when the area mined coal from under the sea. I ask a guy sat next to me what the building is used for now and he tells me that it's going to be dismantled but requires a lot of money and asbestos specialists to take it down. The coastline will look ...

FINALLY, a real trip!

So randomly decided on Friday to accompany my friends on their Edinburgh day trip. Not for anything touristy, just to check out the place. Heard it was gorgeous, so why not?

After crawling out of bed at 5.30am, we got to the bus terminal for 7 and hopped onto the Megabus down to Edinburgh. Nice, quiet ride, nice little nap.. until they tell us that we have to change in Dundee. Ugh.

Out ...

Fun trip to Murrayfield for Scotland v Fiji.....lots of happy Scottish faces after the win, boys in fancydress, stag parties galore, chuc-chucs ferrying folks home in the rain, great cocktails in an Italian Jazz bar and running to catch last train back home on a busy busy Saturday night train heading South.

What better way to celebrate the 60th birthday of my fabulous Mum than a bus spotting trip to Dunfermline, followed by a "scenic" drive around the Fife coast up to the historic university town of St Andrews... I say "scenic" because much of the early part of the road was actually inland ...

... We popped over to have a look at the 'Old Course' and to see the beach used in the filming of 'Chariots of Fire' as well. It was quite an interesting day - especially when you add that we drove right into the middle of the special day when 1st year uni students dress up like freaks & get plastered with shaving cream by the older students! Now that was quite a sight. Apparently it's an age old ...

... That allows golfers to be members at more than one club quite easily. Normally, membership at a great golf course will be in the 500-1000 pound range ($1000-2000), which is very cheap relative to the U.S. So, I was paired with Ian and Alistair from Edinburgh. The first hole starts off in grand fashion, going up about 40 feet on the second shot. From there you are up on the cliffs, rolling across the land and catching the ...

... walled, and guarded with watch towers). In the morning we took a local bus to Rossyln's Chapel [one of many stops at buildings in the Davinci Code]. It was very detailed, very pretty, and very busy. Its definitely a popular spot for the billions of people that read that book. The trip to the country was also quite nice. That afternoon we flew from Edinburgh to London.

Hello everyone. Haven't written in while as not much is happening at the moment but I just thought I'd let you know I'm still here. I have another week or so in St. Andrews until I have to head back down to London and then on to Italy!! So excited about this trip. It's actually turning out to be a LOT LOT longer than I had thought it was going to be. 3 weeks in Italy turned into the parents coming over to ...

... they had some kind of half-dragon/half-woman creature with flames shooting out of its nipples. It didn't make sense to me, but we did get there a little late. Then we went on another ghost tour. I have to say, it was a little disappointing. The dude got the story of James I wrong, and when we went into the vaults, they were lit. Ooh, scary. I mean, parts of it were interesting, but overall, I've been on better ghost tours. And still no activity ...
