Amazing,

A  wee bit of tip about the cities.

Aberdeen :  the granite building such as Marishal college give the city its dinstinctive look thats where it got its name from Grey City. Gotta take a look and also the Aberdeen university another great landmark. There you can also enjoy a great night out and the weird thing is the clubs and pubs used to be churches and can you imagine drinking in a holy place.... loll I did... i m going to hell!!!! oh dear god. Another city in the outskirt of Aberdeen you must look is the stonehaven, a port town where they have a war memorial not sure if it is WW1 or 2. quite a walk but very good time. You will also take note of Dunnattar Castle which is dramatic and evocative ruin. As you wander around the extensive buildings you are almost surrounded by sea with sea-gulls and other seabirds wheeling and screaming around the cliff and they are fat birds very scary and loud. This castle has a very good historical event tied with William Wallace, A hero from Scotland. I am sure you will love it. Try tradditonal pub called the Prince of Wales a great place to chill out if you like the tradditional music and good company

Glasgow : To me glasgow is more industrial place, Shopping paradise and clubbing area. I do the latter two things there and also not to be missed the museum and art gallery and University of Glasgow.

Inverness: A home to lochness, grab the bus and enjoy the view and the myth. Inverness has some different angle of Scotland more quiter and unique in its own way. Great museum and art gallery, also check out the inverness castle which is now turned into Sheriff's court not sure if you can enter the building tho. I dint the other time I was there, but good place to pose a picture hehe! Eastgate shopping center, a great place to shop till you drop which i love to do but that is just a fancy area. Do take a look at the indoor Victorian Market which has shops selling Scottish souvenirs and also great things for window shopping.

I think thats all for now hope i gave enuff info! But i am sure you have done extensive research nevertheless do enjoy to the fullest!

cheers mate!
