In Scotland, I only went to Edinburgh, but it is one of my favorite cities! I recommend hiking up to Arthur's Seat for an amazing view of the city! Also, I went on a literary pup crawl and learned so much history about the authors/poets from Scotland. Very fun and interesting! Also, along the Royal Mile (the street leading up to Edinburgh Castle) there are usually tons of little art and jewelry stands with some amazing craftsmanship! That's where I got all of my gifts for people. :)

To the person going to Ireland: There are a lot of day trips that are fairly inexpensive through the Paddy Wagon (a bus tour company)! I recommend going to Dingle Peninsula, the Aran Islands (which is off the coast of Galway, and Galway is an adorable city so you should go there too!), and Cork! Also, Killarney is a wonderful little city! In Dublin, Sinnots is a fun/cheap bar right on Grafton Street!
