I believe you will find your visit to Scotland to be a magical one. If you are a little bit outgoing (and I assume you are since you are willing to travel alone) you will find yourself surrounded by new friends. Scots are extremely friendly so be sure to ask them about what they consider worthwhile side trips. I never would have seen Rosslyn Chapel (and the village), the Falkirk Wheel (amazing Scottish engineering) or the Kelpies if not nudged to them by a local. Trust the public transports - they will serve well. If you find the Gorms playing at a pub - tell them Longfellow says 'hello'! Also if you have time and like to walk there is a lovely pedestrian path along the waters of Leith to a very special part of the town. It's a few kilometers from the New Town to Leith and there are wonderful food options there - I suggest you try Cullen Skink and cranachan - delicious Scottish dishes that few visitors try. Personally, I don't find the haggis meal appealing but you ought to sample it. I've been to Scotland many times - I owned a cottage outside Edinburgh for a while (pre-pandemic) so I have a visitors eye and a residents sensibility. Feel free to ask me if you're interested in my perspective.

St Andrews and Kirkcaldy (yes, I know). I dont know any of these little places but have heard about a couple of them. This is a GREAT little channel! Should be at least 10 times bigger.

St Andrews, crail, Falkland

My parents favourite ever caravan site was in St Monans, it was literally just a small field just above the sea, with only room for 4 caravans. Sadly it is no more.

You might like Limekilns and Aberdour too, plus the views from the Lomond hills can be amazing.

Crail for sure!

Thank youuuuu .) .3

Honestly I'm still thinking about the big beautiful lobsters in Crail ;__;

That's so exciting! Hope you have the bestest of times! Bridges-wise, you could at least make it to South Queensferry, which especially on a nice day seems like a really cute half-day trip, and you get amazing views of the bridges - but it's definitely one of those things I'd recommend for people who have "done all the basic touristy things" .) Thank you so much for still watching my content, I can only hope it's at least 50% as good as your wonderful art!

Trust me, every time I explore these new spots, my brain instantly goes to "I NEED TO BRING MY BUN HERE"

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that .)

It's by the North Queensferry Light Tower museum .)

@@Kakibot Thank you very much. I will be adding this to my Scotland East trip.

Hmmm... Fife is a bit of a land of contrasts - certain parts are absolutely stunning, others... a lot less so x) I think the coast is a safe bet, including the coastal path and St Andrews, also Culross, but more inland I'd recommend Falkland, an absolutely stunning little town!

Right now I quite enjoy the Cidre Breton by Kerisac - but would love to try more french ciders to really find my true fave! I've also had a great dry cider from Prager, some time ago while visiting Czech Republic, really hoping to get my hands on that one again! .)

@@Kakibot Thanks for the recommendations! Sorry another question, do you know any good places to buy cider in Edinburgh? Since moving here, my partner and I have been struggling

@@SopherMcBeans I'd probably check out some of the "fancy beer spots" - Cornelius and Top Cellar on Easter rd, or Beerhive in Canonmills. I am not completely certain if they stock much cidre, but if I was looking for something less ordinary, that's where I would go! (I usually pick up the french one I mentioned in Oddbins! But I can't remember if they stock any other ones...)

@@Kakibot Awesome! We will have to check them out!
