It occurred to me after I logged out that I hadn't answered your question so I am back to do that!
Yes, I have been to Scotland a couple of times. It's wonderful. The people are great, if you are a history buff, you'll enjoy it. If you just like culture, same thing, if it's scenery, same!
Regardless of what some feel, even the food was good! LOL
My daughter and I went the summer she graduated form High School, then 4 years later my hubby and I went for our 25th anniv. We'll go again sometime, too.
Once you do go, you'll start planning your next trip there on the airplane going home!

I've been a lot of places in this old world and Scotland is one of the best!
You're right about the dead site thing. Apparently in order to be a member here, or a Mod, you must agree blindly with and support everything said. It didn't use to be that way, back when there were actual 'Scots' (real or at heart) running things.
