Vacation help! - Scotland

[indysteel]

I'm sure Edinburgh will be lovely at Christmas. I spent a few days there in June of 2002. It was rainy, blustery and cold then, so I can't imagine what winter would be like. I regret that I didn't make it to Glasgow, as it was in the middle of a resurgence. Didn't make it to the highlands. I'll defer to others as to what it will be like weatherwise in December.

Help! I need to plan my Christmas vacation in Cleveland.

I will ask my DH when he's back from running errands. He lived in Aberdeen for a year and did a fair amount of traveling.

As far as snow, I was there from Jan-April. And, while they don't get snow like the upper Midwest of the US, when they do get snow they freak the heck out and don't have the equipment to deal with it well. I recall it was wet, heavy stuff, too.

I spent a few weeks in Aberdeen...I LOVED that city. It's not far from Dunotter castle and has the BEST fish-and-chips joint in all of the UK (IMO), The New Dolphin.

No reason to be a snippy Little Chicken..... I happen to know that there are some ladies from the UK and Scotland as well as some well traveled women here. Usually I decide to go somewhere with an idea of why and what I want to see already in mind - this trip is a bit more nebulous and I really have been having a hard time getting a whole lot of information.
