Terrific! That's great news about the music venues. We've seen pubs along our itinerary that feature music nights but we're not in a position to enjoy them (or drive back safely to where we're staying).

Would like some validation of a certain segment of our trip -- we need to travel from Tain to Edinburgh in one day and are going to miss huge areas of Scotland, depending on which route we take south. We are big scenery, and nature, lovers.

I will be shooting tons of photos, my husband will be be shooting miles of video. We make quality movies out of our combined efforts & share them with others.

We are by-passing Scotland's cities, except for Edinburgh. We love ocean, mountains, glens, huge vistas, interesting roads and towns, places where real people live and work -- not touristy places.

We're 8 days into our trip at this point, having stayed on the Kintyre peninsula, Oban, Isle of Mull, Isle of Skye, and Tain. We have but a few more days in this trip and figure it's best to complete our trip by staying in Edinburgh for several days to see the Royal Mile, Falkirk Wheel, St. Andrews, Crail, and Leith.

We figure we'll be getting into Edinburgh late in the day and are prepared for that.

Do we follow A9 as it winds south to Edinburgh, or dog-let it through Grantown-on-Spey-**** Bridge-Braemar-Edradour distillery-Pitlochry-Edinburgh, or swing over to Aberdeen and take the coast route?

Would love to hear the best of what these routes have to offer to help make our decision on how to travel from Tain to Edinburgh.

Thanks!
