64 things to do...
...in Scotland before you die. The Sunday Herald has a list of 100 things to do in Scotland before you die, although the online version only has 64. I've done a few of them and still need to do quite a few more:
- #2, the Standing Stones in Callanish. Been there, done that, seen the stones. Quite impressive. And better than Stonehenge
- #3, West Highland Line. Took the train, but didn't take any pictures really (apart from one). Saw the train again two years later, this time my sister and I took a few pictures.
- #4, see an Old Firm game. Would love to see Celtic thrash Rangers, but it's almost impossible to get tickets.
- #13, dolphins. Haven't been to Moray Firth, but I've seen some when tall ship sailing near Mull and once when I was on Islay
- #20, the Falkirk Wheel. Been there, didn't ride the wheel though. But then I haven't only been once, but twice
- #22, still owe Ian Rankin a pint. But I've read all of Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus books
- #27, visit Necropolis. Been there, done that, took a few pictures.
- #30, doon the watter. Still need to go on the Waverley. Only seen her on the Clyde in Glasgow so far.
- #33, bag a few Munros. 2 down, 282 to go. So far I been on Cairn Gorm and Ben Lomond.
- #36, visit the Barras Market. Haven't been there yet, will probably give it a try some day.
- #39, climb the Whaligoe Steps. This sounds quite interesting, have to do that one day.
- #44, see #33. Still have to get on Ben Nevis
- #46, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Been there, done that, taken the pictures, written the pages
- #51, Malt Whisky Distilleries. Been to a lot. Most of them on Islay, including Laphroaig, Bruichladdich, Ardbeg and Bowmore. But I've also been to Highland Park, Oban (doesn't seem to have a website) and Edradour.
- #56, Sandwood Bay. On my list for either this or next summer.
- #60, Skara Brae. Been there, and it was packed with tourists. A similar place is the Jarlshof, which is much more accessible.
- #62, make a phone call from Pennan. Went there, didn't make a phone call though. Don't remember if my mobile had any reception.
May be they are listed in numbers 65 to 100, otherwise here are a few I'd add:
That's enough things to do. Now I've got to do something else. And you've got a lot of links to visit.
