Yes, I knew that about Scotland!
Thanks for the suggestions- especially the links for the ride. I didn't realize it was such a well known route when they told me about it.
I am currently leaning toward having my son carry the Fuji with him, unless my daughter can find a good used touring bike in her size there. Neither she nor I can really afford to outfit her with a new bike - and I know the Fuji can be fit to her- it's just not the perfect touring bike.
Since my daughter plans to stay in England, and the BF likes to cycle, I like the idea of her having a bike to keep. But- do any of those rentals have touring bikes? The ones I checked were mostly "town" bikes.
