One of the strangest things we encountered in Scotland is the absence of washcloths in the hotel bathrooms. (I think they're called "flannels" in the UK.) There were bath towels and hand towels, but no washcloths. (Okay, I lie. One hotel had one washcloth, for two people.) We stayed in a variety of hotels, from Residence Inn to Holiday Inn Express to the Best Western Queens Hotel in Perth. We also stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Thurso. So here's my question: How are people cleaning themselves in the shower, without washcloths? (In case you're wondering, I used the hand towel as a washcloth. Talk about unwieldy!)
