    That's a lot of money. Have you thought about the train? Relaxing. No waiting at the Airport.

    Where about in Scotland? Does it have to be Heathrow or would Gatwick/Luton/Stansted be a possibility?

    Scotland ! - why? £450, you could buy Scotland for that and have it delivered.


    Bristol - Inverness with Easyjet on those dates from about £210 (for 3) + cheapo bus to Bristol & Back.

    In all of Scotland? Or one particular bit. Unless you tell us WHERE in Scotland you want to be no-one can help you

    The two best things to come out of Scotland are Scotch Whisky and
    the Easyjet flight from Inverness.

    I don't mind the Scots any more than I mind say the Irish, but I'm not a fan of their damn cold midge infested country.

    Take a look, jolly depressing at the moment 11.00 BST

    As long as that transaction includes transfer of all my debt, he's welcome.:beer:

    To be honest, given the waiting time at airports these days I find the train just as fast and less stressful. Edinburgh to King's Cross in about 4 hours. By the time you've turned up to the airport two hours early etc etc etc it's just the same. I've actually found myself frequently walking into meetings earlier than my colleagues because I took the train. Much cheaper too.
