We then head off down to Old Reekie via Dundee/ St Andrews/Anstruther and Kinghorn. Again 2 nights in Leith with a trip to the Falkirk wheel and Stirling on the 2nd day.

Need to buy nyself a kilt. Anyone with any recommendations for kilt makers.

If you need a kilt you'll need hose.
If you need hose you'll need flashes, a sgian dubh and brogues.
You will also need a shirt, waistcoat, jacket, tie and sporran.
Typical price for the whole lot from a decent maker, £1,000
I can recommend McCalls of Aberdeen.

Looks like I'll have to wait until next year for my kilt. Cancelled the trip to Scotland.Just too wet friday, saturday. So we are doing a shortened tour but only as far as the Lakes. A friend of mine has a holiday cottage in Tebay. We are renting it for 4 days from Monday. Hoping to get to Whitby one day. Hawes and Grassington another and a trip round the lakes maybe doing Wrynose and Hard knot. Lets hope the weather stays fine.
