Before this visit, I had only spent a few days in Edinburgh visiting the tourist hotspots along the Royal Mile. This city has so much more! Roberta and Angus' home is in a fantastic neighbourhood that is still walking distance or an easy bus ride to major tourist attractions, but has lots right at your doorstep, offering two modern art museums, the Leith River walking trail, short walk to Botanical Gardens, great restaurants in west-end and in Stockbridge, easy train service to Glasgow, Perth and St. Andrews, an easy drive to area lakes and hiking. And Roberta and Angus were so helpful with suggestions before and during my stay and their home is amazingly spacious and lovely. These are wonderful exchangers with a wonderful home!

In a combined vacation to Edinburgh, Roberta and Angus' holiday home was the perfect place to unwind and explore at a leisurely pace. The views on Arran are astounding with beautiful waterscapes, sunsets and more. The cottage itself is an easy walk into Lamlash and right on a bus line that encircles the island. Great food, fantastic scotch (my favourite was the Robert Burns 12 year old at Isle of Arran distillery). While there was sadly not enough time to golf, the vistas from the golf course right across the street from the cottage looked breath-taking -- not sure I would have been able to pay attention to my game in those surroundings! Roberta and Angus were very helpful with specific advice and instructions on booking ferries, their favourite island restaurants and tips on things to do. What a wonderful holiday!

This lovely apartment in Edinburgh was perfect.

An excellent exchange. A lovely home for exploring on our first trip to Arran. Really comfortable when we stayed in and watched the rain.
