Glasses Scotland Trip

[JohnGlass]

We have decided to visit Scotland and try to fill in some of the gaps.
Places of interest being Glasgow,Paisley,Dumbarton,Kilmallie and Inverness areas.
Flights will be booked at the end of this month,question being when do we come over?Considering Apr/May to take advantage of off peak.
Intend staying at B&B's and have no time constraints.
Would welcome some advise from you natives on the timing of our visit

Thanks
Sandra & John from OZ k

Hello John,

I'm not a native, but my great grandfather John Morning was

Last May, my grandson Joe & I paid a visit to Scotland and it was a perfect time of the year. The daylight seems to last forever, I had to keep checking my wristwatch for the correct time Oh and in
Inverness, you can expect the birds to be out flying around at 11:00pm. Something I've never seen in my lifetime. It normally gets dark here in RI by 9pm in the summertime.

Regards
Marilyn

While I was living on the Isle of Seil, Argyll, the village had no street lights and during the winter it was pitch black and you needed a torch to visit a neighbour.

However, in the summer months you could go for a walk without the aid of a torch, moon or no moon.

If you want goodish weather sometimes May/June is the best of the Summer.
Try to avoid school hols as prices rise-they vary as to your location.
Dumbarton has just been named as the most depressing place in Britain but as a one time near-by native I protest. A good base for visiting Glasgow,Loch Lomond,The Trossachs etc.It also has fairly good Archives & off course only a short drive/train journey to the Mitchell Library where the Archives are second to none.Also Edinburgh is about an hour& half's drive away or a couple of trains away.
Paisley is just across the Erskine Bridge or through the Clyde Tunnell.
You can also catch the sleeper train to Inverness from Dalmuir or Glasgow.
A joy anyway wherever you go & I hope you have a good experience.
Sorry I have no idea where Kilmallie is although it does ring a bell.

I think that early June is a good time for the West of Scotland. The nights are getting lighter (by August it never really gets dark here where I am in Argyll, just gets duskier and then it's dawn again). The weather should also have picked up by early June.
Hope you can make a trip down the river Clyde - fabulous scenery - and maybe come over here to Argyll for even more gorgeous scenery.
