i don't really know which part of scotland i should be going because one of my relatives is living there .. but edinbrugh and glasco are plases i wana visit any how

Hope you enjoy your visit to my homeland. I was born in Edinburgh...so I am biased...but think it is a beautiful city. You can fly Emirates to Glasgow and get the train to Edinburgh.

As someone else said...be sure to take warm clothing with you and buy yourself an umbrella !!

Edinburgh is my home city. You can also consider getting there with Lufthansa or KLM.

There are several festivals on in august - the middle two weeks is when they all run concurrently:

The Fringe is the biggest.

You should avoid George Street and Rose Street - it is full of Western loving alcohol bars. But make an exception to take a soft drink in The Dome:

I could go on and on....
