For up-to-date info on bars, restaurants, entertainment, start here: http://www.list.co.uk/index.php\n\nAs for attractions, most will be open, particularly places that attract tourists year-round such as Edinburgh Castle. \n\nCastles DO change opening hours depending on the season, so it's a good idea to check - this site lists all the castles in Scotland: http://www.castles.org/Chatelaine/\n\nthis is the site for the National Trust - takes care of all historic buildings in Scotland - it gives updates on which places are open: http://www.nts.org.uk/web/site/home/home.asp?\n\nplaces to stay \nYou can stay at youth hostels (some close after the summer), hotels or bed and breakfast. The site Yielding listed is a good starting point. \n\nwhat is the weather like \n\nExpect rain. Frequently.\n\nSeptember CAN be reasonably mild with occasional sunshine. It also depends on where you plan to go in Scotland. Expect anything between 12-18°C so make sure to pack a raincoat and a couple of sweaters...

The bar at the sailing club is really great if you have not been before. Else there are lots of restaunts. There is a good place in Sparkes Marina just around the courner from HISC.  Other bars include Lilly savages in Creek road and loads in Mengham high street. Also check out the 505  and HISC websites.

i went last year. in Scotland, go to Edinburgh, and the castle there. the architecture in the city is awesome. the castle was closed when we got there, so we didn't go in, but we did enjoy the city. on  your way from England to Scotland on the main route you can go through Jedburgh, which is where Mary Queen of Scots lived at Jedburgh Abbey. if you have time, the Lake District of England is just awesome, and there are lots of B&Bs you can stay at. There are some interesting stone circles near the lake district, too. Don't forget Hadrian's wall, a good place to see part of that is Heddon on the wall, which is where my ancestors came from. in england, stop in the bakeries and get some of those delicious meat pies for a cheap lunch or breakfast, the fruit tarts are good too. and try the tea. you may thing you don't like milk in tea, but you may end up addicted, haha

Just 'google' sleigh rides uk and see what comes up! may depend on snow etc.\nHave you thought about a trip to Lapland? It's not that expensive and could be a really romantic trip!

The country side is green with wild red poppies growing, if you are by the coast it is rocky and chilly. You can eat stews with beef and vegetables, loads of spuds (potatoes) and drink a glass of beer at the local pub or drink a nice shot of whiskey or scotch to warm you on a cold day. \n\nThere are old Castle ruins and stone bridges and pathways.\n\nFoods like; Bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes) Haggis, cocka-leaky soup (potato and leak)and kippers,(salted fish), and black pudding (blood sausage) rich puddings with brandy cream sauce or custard.\n\nEdinburgh is where my family originated and it is a lovey quaint City. It has the Castle on the hill up the old mile road in town and it's a great mixture of old meets new. \n\nI loved my visit and my German mother and my daughter have been for a few visits and loved it.\n\nScottish people are kind heart and genuine. You know where you stand and they are hospitable. \n\nA day consists of eating breakfast with family, going of the work, school or shopping, a chat with family or friends, then lunch, next you might see the sights, and lastly go to the local pub for a chat and drink before toddling of home. You would eat a meal with your family around a table or have a meal on your lap while watching your favourite TV show. Serials are popular and music and tartan is a must and all family gatherings and parties.

There are some great, quite easy trails in the pine forest at Bracknell.  There are no major uphils, but great surfaces, places to rest, a great information/nature centre, and a lot of encouragement for mountain bikers.\n\nI used to live and work there before I left the UK and it was very nice.\n\nHope this helps.  Enjoy!

Scotland is one of the most beautiful places in the world.  I was there last may and June and except for the midgies it is paradise.  I was in the Loch Tay region, but I also went to Edinburgh (beatuiful) and Glasgow (fabulous).  I would rent a car and drive everywhere as relying on bus service takes away a lot of time from your stay there.  Also, the people are friendly and helpful.

Apparantley, Glencoe is a haven fro snowboarders and it's considered the most Alpine of the resorts in Scotland. Here is the website http://www.glencoemountain.com/store/home.php. Most resorts should be open by Dec. 24th, I don't understand why they wouldn't because they would just be losing money. Another good resort is the Lecht which is in Northern Scotland. Here is a website that will allow you to access all five of the resort websites. http://ski.visitscotland.com/centres/. Then you can read about all of them and find your ideal resort. Sorry it took so long for someone to answer you!

Edinburgh is fast becoming the most popular destination for American immigrants and tourists in Scotland. Rightly so, as it has the best of everything that Scotland has to offer: the best historic sites, the best archeticture, the best university in Scotland (university of Edinburgh), etc.\n\nIt is also host to the most glamorous Scottish annual event: the Edinburgh Tatoo. I am sure you would be happy in the city, even though the winters can be wet and cold, but summer is nice. It is a small city, but a city with deep culture and heritage, and most of all: a global ambition.

Good choice on the museum - it's a brilliant day out. I used to go 3 or 4 times a year when I was a kid. Are you going purely for Beamish? If so the nearest I could find was this one (first 2 Sources links):\n\nBobby Shafto Caravan Park\nMoney Hills\nBeamish\nCo Durham\nDH9 0RY\nTel: 0191 3701776\n\nOtherwise you might be better in a bigger site that is more central to other attractions. There are quite a few dotted along on the coast and in the country-side further in land.
