We had a great time in Scotland. We arrived in Glasgow at 1:30 PM (local time) on Thursday, 26 May. We departed at 9:30 AM (local time) on Thursday, 2 June. That's four hours shy of a week. Here is where we slept:
- 26 May: Glasgow
- 27 May: Edinburgh
- 28 May: Edinburgh
- 29 May: Inverness
- 30 May: Thurso
- 31 May: Perth
- 1 June: Glasgow
In the entire week, there was no precipitation other than a drizzle for about 30 minutes on the first day (as we walked the streets of Glasgow searching for a restaurant). How crazy is that? I expected lots of rain during our visit, based on things I had read and heard. It was also sunny most of the time, which cheered me immensely. (I'm addicted to sunshine, having lived in Arizona and Texas for the past 33 years.) The locals said that it had rained a lot in the week before we arrived (or maybe it was the week before the week before we arrived). As for the temperature, it was perfect. I wore a jacket occasionally, but often wore only a button-down shirt. I'll remember the glorious cool days of Scotland when it gets oppressively hot in Texas this summer.
