Dulciana, I had no idea you live in Scotland, it might be a bit of a busman's holiday wouldn't it! I have strong ties to the Highlands, an ancestor is remembered at Glenfinnan. We are MacBean's. When DH and I visited Glen Coe my deep love of history brought the events there to life in my head. It was as if I could shut my eyes, calm my mind and I could 'hear' the slaughter. DH did give me a sideways look, but my Mum knew exactly what I meant when I told her. That confused DH even further 
Have you decided anywhere you might like to holiday in next year?

Hi Brighteyes. Yes, I've lived in Scotland for most of my life, apart from some years in S. England and I'm only partly Scottish but that's another story! Glen Coe's an amazing place, I agree, very thought-provoking and atmospheric. I remember driving through it a long time ago, at dusk on a very rainy night in August with thick clouds creeping down the hilltops - slightly too atmospheric for my liking, that night!
Hubby and I have mulled over next year and we're beginning to think in the direction of either trying again to get to Ireland or exploring the website that Breeze mentioned (Riviera Travel).
I really appreciate the suggestions that everyone has given me here. I'm sure we should be able to come up with something for next year
. Thanks folks! Dulciana
