What is there to see in Scotland and Holland?

What is there to see or do in both Scotland and Holland in August of 2010? I’ve never been to Europe before, but my family (2 parents, 3 teenage kids) is visiting these two countries for a few weeks next summer to do all the sightseeing stuff and visit relatives in Edinburgh and Helmond. What are the main places that we should visit?

My boyfriend is 22 and I’m 17 and we’re planning on taking a holiday together in August. We want somewhere nice and hot since we live in Scotland, but also cheap. We have a last minute free accommodation timeshare thing available from my parents which you can book at a maximum of 30 days before. I’m looking for some recommedations of places that would suit us please.

May be sending my senior parents to Scotland for their 50th and want to know what to expect for a climate. "When" we send them will depend on factors such as climate. I know each coast is different as well as how much sunlight and the obvious temp differences. If someone was going to go to Scotland via a tour group, when would be the best time to go?
That’s is an "adjective" to let the "smarter" users know that my parents aren’t 40 or 50 but over 65.

Shame about your limited verbal skills.

How do you know where you are from?

seanturner30 asked:


Ok, we are having a debate… I think where you are from is where you were born… My friend thinks it is where your perents were from….

But what is it?

And my friend is wondering where she is from: her dad is English, Her mum is Scottish, She was born in England on holiday and has lived in Scotland the rest of her life.

And if it is what your parents were then how far do you go back? Because my mum’s parents were scottish, my dad’s dad was scottish but my dad’s mum’s mum was irish.

Don’t worry if you get confused, just answer as much as you can.
Thanks. :)
Yes, The UK is scotland, england, wales and N. Ireland.

But Scots and Welsh are more likely to say that they are Scottish or Welsh rather than brittish!
