Tourism Thread - tips and assistance

Went years ago with Mrs, lovely looking place but just full of drunks in the daytime. Or is that just Scotland in general?

Might be getting Pitlochry confused with Pittodrie -
The place Slur Alex learned how to drink :thinking:

or the effect you have on people? :wink:

It really is. I was in Kirkcaldy in 1996, we got taken out on Sun lunch to the local club. Everyone, or all too many, were drinking halves of ale, with a small 500ml bottle of nips in their inside pockets!! :slightly_smiling_face:

Aviemore is an alright place to stay,

loads of hotels, so plenty of places to stay.

maybe avoid the Scandinavian Village though,
stayed there a few times back in my youth,
it had a reputation as a party place, and still does as far as i know

that’s where my family is originally from, on my paternal grandmother’s side.

Ive still got my ex mum-in-law there at West Wyms on the beach, got some great memories of beach fires and smoko

this is as far back as I know about that line

That’s looks a fine heritage - this house in particular? Next place along the coast from my old lass. I really loved Kirkcaldy, I was made into philosophy at the time and got a great copy of Hume’s essays from a REAL bookshop, that must have been1995, when the world promised a way better future than now. Lovely times, I must go back soon, and may when I visit a pal in Inverness.

there’s a clue in that picture, it just celebrated it’s 150th anniversary. have linked our lineage back to that building in 1904.

Is it the Lodge

Went to the friendly in Karlsruhe and bumped into a couple from Dundee on the tram back to the station, and we got chatting about where we were from. Mentioned my other half is from Fife. ‘Oh yeah, where abouts’? Turned out it was a place that was ‘oh, that’s a bad area, eh?’

There was once this beautiful inn in Cray with lovely people running it, absolutely delicious food. Unfortunately they’ve closed since then.

I just passed Grantham, Maggie’s Thatcher birthplace.

I was in Bradford and Leeds this weekend. Loved both cities and the countryside is breathtaking.
