Letham, that's the name of the Perth estate I was thinking about (not to be confused with the town in Fife)

 

[mrskp]

Killin for me. Lovely lovely place. I always manage to chill when I get up there. Anyone got a B&B to sell ?

 

[Lock&Light]

Pitlochry is certainly one of the most attractive towns in Scotland, IMO.

St. Andrews is cool as long as you avoid the golfness

Touring around Scotland 25years ago, I looked at the map and thought Kircaldy looked like a seaside place.

It isn't.

Up The Tigers

Kirkcaldy with its mile of beach at Seafield

Despite my local loyalties, the lang toun may not be a candidate for this thread, BUT the unspoilt beach is a great place to walk - even when covered in stranded jellyfish, and you can take kids seal-spotting less than a mile's walk south from town.

edited to add - the other beach (Linktown) isn't as good.

I havent been to many places in Scotland, but went to Edinburgh last year on a stag weekend. Very nice city, and the piss up was great! Much better than london as a place to visit in my opinion and the people are more friendly. Cardiff is also a great city (but then i'm completely biased).

Got to be Glasgow for me although i do really enjoy my trips over to Edinbugger.

Splutter!

Or the village in Angus.

I have no idea which is the best town in Scotland but it sure as heck isn't a LOT of the ones mentioned on this thread!!

I do like Tain myself, though never spent more than a day there.

I'll see pogo's splutter and raise it to 'you must be joking'!!
When were you last there L&L?? Tourist tack central.

Dunkeld is much nicer imo.

 

[pogofish]

Tain, nooooo!! Awful place. Spent my worst ever holiday there.

 

[Here we go]

[Lock&Light]

Or Loch Lomond and Balloch..

Not one of those photos show Balloch, which, of course, is to be expected if only photos of attractive places are required for this thread.

 

[Frankie Jack]

Nae borra wee man..

S'awrite here...

Weather could be better tho....

 

[Fedayn]

Arrochar is quite nice

Probably more of a village tho'.

Perth is a beutiful place, i love going there. It's only problem is it's closeness to the ugliest town in scotland-Dundee. What a shithole that place is. my town livingston is not the best place by far, but is very easy on the eye. It looks very rural at first sight-if your driving through. no big grey buildings, no dissused industrial areas, lots of green, and lovely places to go for a walk.

But imho the best place to go for a day out in the summer or a night out at any time of the year is edinburgh. In particular the old town is a great place. i could look at the buildings for ages(yes i'm a boring old fart).

There was a picture posted on a Scotland thread (stunning pics of Scotland, maybe?) where it looked like the town was in the Caribbean, with palms and everything. What's that place called?

Not much there. Primarily famous for being David Coulthard's home town. Not sure if it's still there but used to also be home to the museum dedicated to him...

Port Logan possibly? Also in Galloway.
