revised honeymoon plans

[winterbadger]

After a fair amount of discussion, Herself and I have decided not to do a "if this is Tuesday, it must be Belgium" sort of trip (i.e., one where you spend each night in a different place), but to pick a couple of locations (maybe two, maybe three) and take day trips from there. We're trying to decide which two or three places to choose. Current opinion is for St Andrews and Aberdeen, with Perth and Stirling as possible alternate contenders. What do you, the readers suggest? We're looking to maximise the following attributes: an interesting and agreeable place to stay (we'll be looking for B&Bs--I've converted Neta to the B&B lifestyle vice hotels and motels), historic sites, cultural attractions, scenery for viewing/walking, restaurants.

I've shied away from the West Coast only because I know it (fairly) well, and I thought it would be fun to go somewhere new together...

The one time I was at Stirling they had just about finished one of the tapestries and had only just finished refurbishing the Great Hall, I think. It will be terrifically cool to see a lot of the tapestries done.

Glamis--NJS really wants to see that (she's developed an interest in the late Queen Mum), but I fear it will have to wait for another trip. They're closed in January and February. :-( Sadly, the Meigle Museum and St Vigeans are *also* closed. :-( (Well, OK, we _are_ talking January here. I'm glad the whole country isn't closed--you know, sing hanging on the air terminal doors saying 'Scotland is closed until 1 March; please come again!' :-)
