Good question!
We're planning to have a good look at Caithness and the Orkneys. I'm particularly interested in the giants' dances and some of the old Viking works.
Beyond that, I want to meet friends and others, and do a mix of touristy things around Scotland (castles and so on) and just lifting a glass in a bunch of quiet pubs where we can see and hear what's important to people who live there, perhaps meet some folks and make some friendships.
As a priest, I really would like to see Iona and some of the ancient sacred sites - not just Christian sacred either. Rosslyn is on the list.
Edinburgh and Glasgow are beautiful, but not necessarily at the top of our lists. I really enjoyed Pitlochry and St. Andrew's when we were there and mostly I want to get off the more beaten paths and see... Scotland.
