i was entertaining some americans in scotland over christmas, went to see the castles and wallace momument it was quite good.

edinburgh castle
Speaking of Auld Reekie...I got to meet Ian Rankin last year. Seriously a cool guy and he wanted to discuss The Stones, but I felt bad and cut it short because so many other people were approaching. Will definitely look for him in future. I was impressed. Seemed like a guy to sit and have some pints with.

I've got his website in my favourites and I've been thinking for a while to attending the Edinburgh Int. Book Festival. If this year's lineup has a few key people, I'll probably hit it.

chimps and goudy you clearly don't have a dicerning eye for great films.

Only when my house is cold.

LOL. Are you kidding!? I would be a convoy rolling through the pubs. Problem would be not trying to blow off scheduled events.  :-\    ;D

I like Braveheart but think Trainspotting and Shallow Grave are better movies set in Scotland!

It's one of my favorites as well. Quint is a way better character then an Aussie trying to play a Scottsman. Apacolypto blew the big one as well!

regardless of the historical accuracy..as far as being a good movie, Braveheart is undisputably excellent and personally its in my top 5 if not top 3 ever.
