England was great for seeing the relatives, but otherwise loud, rude and catastrophically catabolic. I can see why people complain about the Brits. Edinburgh was beautiful, polite and knocked me out. They seemed like the Canadians to the Brit's Americans, if you get me.
Yes, can't say I miss London much but wish I'd spent a little more time up north when I was there. Time & money...
Many moons ago, a family friend put on a play at the festival about the history of the US entitled "How We Got To Be So Great!" Gotta love a town that will get on board with that.
I started back up yesterday with legs after my trip. Kindly recommend you do otherwise.
