And why not exactly? Cummon Jordan, you know you want to.

The question then becomes what to do for the extra week (making it a 4 week instead of 3 week trip).
This requires some serious consideration!
William. You could take a slow drive up towards Inverness to tour the great distilleries and visit Culloden.
On the way, you could take in:
Sterling and Falkirk (Sterling Castle, Wallace Monument and the amazing Falkirk Wheel)
Perth (Balhousie Castle, Home of the Black Watch)
Dundee (visit the RRS Discovery, Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic exploration vessel).
Aberdeen (Home of the Gordon Highlanders).
Huntly (Pop by and meet up with X Marker Jordan... hehehe... sorry couldn't resist)
Dufftown/Aberlour/Rothes (just some of the Distilleries in that neck of the woods)
... and Inverness (Culloden and Jock Scot... or at least Jock is somewhere near by.)
I'm sure that lot would take the best part of a week but you might want to hire a car.
I promise you a Burns Supper in Dumfries will be one of the highlights of your trip.

Fully understand but at the same time sorry to hear you are not well enough yet Ham. It would be lovely to see you again. It has been a while.
Any more takers?
