Scott and I are planning our first trip to Scotland in 2011. (I know it's a long time from now, but in order to do it right, we have to have a lot of advance planning and saving!)
1. When is the best time to go (although we would have loved being there for the Gathering, and other than Games and Festivals, we don't generally like huge crowds.)
2. What are your top five items on your must see and/or do list?
3. What's on your "don't bother, huge waste of time/money" list?
4. Where are the best places to eat and stay and why?
5. Any further advice?
I'll dip in and out of this one.

Get a historic Scotland card I think you can get them for 2 weeks or a month. If you go to Edinburgh castle and a few other places it will save you a bomb.

Places to go:

Edinburgh Castle
Fort George up by Inverness
Boat trip from south Queensferry to incolm. It goes under the bridge and out ot the abbey.
East Fortune airfield if you're into that kind of thing.
