My name is Ken and I have just moved to Scotland, close to Dunoon. I'm a keen photographer and am looking forward to discovering and photographing Scotland, it's people and places.
We would love to drive along beautiful roads, visit a few castles (open in December?) and take in lots and lots of snowy sceneries. A day in a city with christmas lights might be nice.
Any suggestion on the region we should consider?

It's not a castle, but if you do decide on Inverness, then I recommend a visit to Culloden Visitor Centre, it's a National Trust for Scotland property. In my opinion it is one of the best historic attractions in the area.

We are Stewby (a mash-up of our names). We live in Aberdeenshire and travel around Scotland in our wee campervan.
We love taking pictures of our travels and cannot wait to use some of the information on here for a future trip.
If the weather was spectacularly wintry and driving was difficult, maybe our milder east coast, with the beautiful mountains of Angus and Royal Deeside are an option, taking in Crathes Castle at Banchory (open 11.00am-3.45pm in December) and Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven which is open all year round, 10.00 am until sunset in the winter. Accommodation should not be too difficult at this time of year but I would still recommend booking ahead.
Hi everybody,
My name is Fiona. (Eek! I'm 61, can't believe it) I live near Lanark in an old smallholding looking towards Tinto Hill and have great changing views of it. Born in Aberfeldy whilst living in Pitlochry, and moved to Broughty Ferry age 5 where I grew up. Love Scotland and have walked it, climbed it, cycled it and swam in it! Looking for more fun things to do before my hubby and I get too old...
If that does transpire then I'll be looking forward to sharing the adventure through imagery via these pages.
Cheers,
Mark.
We are a travel happy couple who have been based in Edinburgh for the last 2 years. We love how beautiful Scotland is & how friendly the locals are. It is truly one of the most breathtakingly beautiful countries in the world.
We write a travel blog (linked in the signature) that provides public transport advice & tips along with our experiences. We've seen a fair bit of Scotland as a couple but one-half of us took it a step further by taking a month off work & camping around Scotland (using public transport to get around of course). Drop by our blog & say hi. Also feel free to ask us for advice on Scottish destinations, public transport tips and distillery recommendations.

I'm a teacher from San Francisco, California on sabbatical this academic year. I'm currently in Mexico until the end of the calendar year before I head to Europe and excited to say that I'm now planning a UK visit, with a little over a month in Scotland, from the end of April through the end of May. I'm so excited! I haven't yet decided on an itinerary and am enjoying the research part. I know that I need to visit Moffat (as I am a Moffitt--there are many spelling variations in the U.S.), but that's about it. Everything sounds appealing to me! I'll be travelling via bus/train on a budget, looking forward to exploring cities, small villages, and castles, taking hikes in the countryside, sampling good whiskey, and finally trying haggis. Any suggestions for things I can't miss will be appreciated!
Best,
Jennifer
Anyone who knows me has heard me talk about Scotland a lot. I love Scotland!! We live in Canada now but we lived in the Lanark area about thirty years ago ... I am showing my age here. Since that time, I have made several trips back for holidays and it has always been something I look forward to. I wanted to learn more about Scotland and over the years, I have taken Medieval and Modern Scottish History from the University of Dundee and I also have some travel specialist training.
I am excited to have a chance to chat with others about Scotland and to help out where I can. I'm also hoping to learn lots more about what Scotland has to offer. I am planning on returning in 2017.
