    Traveling to Scotland

    The wife and I will be spending 10 days on a Scotland tour in September, immediately following the US Labor Day Holiday.

    I already have good kilts and kilt accesories, not looking for more. Good kilts made with scottish fabric cost less here than they do in Scotland.

    I'm trying to think of a good memento for the trip. Coming up empty.

    Any recommendations?

    A hot scottish lass is out of the question as my wife would cut some parts off me.

    Are you going to tell us whereabouts in Scotland you might visit? Have fun.

    Go see the Kelpies and The Falkirk wheel as they are on your way.

    Memories of conversations, food, music, and places were my best take-aways, followed by photos, Scotch not available in the US esp after a great distillery tour, a couple of t-shirts, a clan pin, and an amazing time at the Clan Chattan AGA and dinner, then the Moy Field Sports fair.

    Missing out arguably the best bits, the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands and the sunshine Solway Coast of Dumfries and Galloway.

    I don't understand- is your Scotland trip already over?
