Still no word from either Bonnie or Adam. We wait.
I have spent the entire evening looking at websites for hotels/b&b's in the St. Andrew's area and in the area around Loch Lomond. The Colquhoun's (the way our family name was spelled in Scotland) come from the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. The prices are all *alot*, especially if you take into account the exchange rate. This is an exercise in anxiety and frustration. I have sent numerous e-mails to numerous hotels/b&b's and now am just waiting...
I seem to be doing a lot of that lately.
Waiting is one of my least favorite activities.

Ugh, what a pain, I am so used to doing everything right away online I would go crazy waiting for email responses! Hopefully something cozy and reasonably priced will come out of it though!

The only hotels I have used in Scotland were in Glasgow or Edingburgh. But I did find the Scottish tourist site very useful with a good B&B section. Can't find the link now sorry. So, you are coming over to our neck of the woods? Any chance of you popping over to Amsterdam for a day? From Glasgo or Edingburg it is very cheap with EasyJet.
