Welcome from Pa. and Va.
I was looking for quilt shops on Sauchehall St. in Glasgow but didn't find any. We did find the kilt rental. Loved Glasgow and The 100 miles or so that we saw. My SIL is from Glasgow.
We went to celebrate their 25th anniversary. They (SIL and MY DD) rented "Graigrownie Castle" in Cove.(0n the hill above Loch Lommond) It was June two years ago and we had two weeks of 70degree weather and only one minute of rain at Oban. They rented a small bus with a driver named Les. He was very kind and funny.
They took the ferry into Helensburgh to buy some supplies and fresh flowers. We also went to INVERARAY and MENSES castles. As a Campbell - INVERARAY was a must. My youngest son signed the guest book as "Glad to see that you are taking good care of the house for the last 200 years".
(just checked the rental site and the owners have switched some furniture and put it for sale
I loved everything about Scotland. I would love a quilting tour of U.K.
I check the sites but haven't found a tour as yet.
Glad that you found this friendly site.

I have spent a month is Scotland and been to Lock Lomond and heard the bagpipers along the road. Welcome to the forum. Spent 3 weeks in St. Andrews while my husband attended a seminar. Also went to the Isle of Skye

Welcome Jacquie from Tennessee. It is so fun to meet so many people from around the world that have the passion and love for quilting. I repair/restore quilts and only hand quilt. Like you I find it relaxing. You will have a blast with this board and so many talented people here and you will share lots of laughs as well.

Welcome to the site from suuny Virginia, USA. Lots of good people and wonderful ideas on the site.
In 2000 my daughter and I toured England, Ireland and Scotland for three weeks as her granduation present from college. I loved Scotland and especially the Inverness region and Edinburgh.
