The Northcraig Cottage B&B guestbook Click the guestbook picture to see our visitors' comments Cyclists and Bikers We have had many cyclists and bikers stay with us - this is a biker-friendly b&b. (We've toured ourselves on motorbikes). Scotland is full of scenic routes and places to explore on two wheels. If you are planning to head up North Scotland or a John O' Groats to Lands End ride, this is a nice b b to break the journey. Cyclists and motorcycle riders are welcome.

Murrayfield hosts the 6 Nations matches - Scotland v England, Scotland v France; the Heineken Cup and the Edinburgh 7's. Railway Enthusiasts We
are the prime Forth Railway b and b, the perfect location to view the
Forth Railway Bridge. A particularly magnificent sight was in May 19, 2008 when
the Scottish Railway Preservation Society organised steam train excursions from
Edinburgh Waverly station across the bridge and north to the Fife Circle route
through Aberdour, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline. Loco No 61994, 'The Great Marquess'
was the engine. Homecoming 2009 In 2009 there was a huge programme of events throughout Scotland celebrating Scottish culture, music, people, products, industries, inventions - including Robert (Rabbie) Burns, Charles Darwin, golf, haggis, whisky, banking, engineering, insurance, scientific & medical research, anaesthetics, animal cloning, insulin, Mackintosh waterproof coats, penicillin, pneumatic tyres, radar, tarmacadam, the telephone, television and the Dewar (or vacuum) flask. Scottish Castles Castles, more castles and even more castles - if you want to see castles, Scotland is the right place! Start with Edinburgh castle or just across the Forth of Firth, Blackness Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was once imprisoned. If that's not enough, a short drive away are Stirling castle and the nearby Wallace Monument, a tribute to William Wallace the Scots rebel, about whom the film Braveheart was made. Scottish Music Festivals & Ceilidhs Visit a Ceilidh (pronounced Kay-lea) to enjoy an evening of Scottish traditional music and dancing. You can hear Celtic pipe, fiddle and drum music at the many music festivals and quite often just in the streets. The sound of the bagpipes is a common in Scottish towns.
Traditional Scottish food - simple ingredients making dishes with a very distinctive flavour.
Arbroath Smokie - a wood-smoked haddock produced in small smoke-houses in
the East coast fishing town of Arbroath.
Soup, made with mutton,
carrots, peas, leeks, cabbage, turnips. Robert Burns wrote about haggis:
It is made from sheep's offal minced,
mixed with beef suet and oatmeal and sewn into
a sheep's stomach. Despite what you might think, it's
delicious!
