I have a few (three or four maybe) days off coming up and I'm thinking of flying to Scotland, hiring a car and seeing some stuff.

Now ... should I go to Kilmartin or 'do' a load of stone circles in Aberdeenshire? Both are equally as appealing and I have thermals.

I could do a bit of both.

Any recommendations for warm places to stay welcome, too.

If you Edinburgh it's a bit of a drive across to Kilmartin , Glasgow -Kilmartin is bad enough .If you did start at Kilmartin two choices are going north to Inverness ( scenic but not too much archaeology after Oban ) Clava then east to Aberdeenshire then back to E or G through Angus . Alternatively Kilmartin to Perthshire -Angus -Aberdeenshire would cover more sites . That's starting at Kilmartin .Lots missed out but two possibles . Depends on type of monument or anything specific you want to see too .

Basically, I'd love to go to Kilmartin, natch! I also want to revisit some of the circles I went to 20+ years ago around Aberdeen and see some new ones.

I know there's a lot between the two. Obviously, at this time of year the enemy is dusk!
