Scotland Timeshares

What timeshares are in or near Edinburgh and Glasgow? We're thinking of putting in a request for those two areas and we want to be close enough to be able to take a cab or train to either city. Thanks.

There is Edinburgh Residence in Edinburgh, and Glasgow Residence in Glasgow. Both look very nice and have good reviews. We were lucky enough to get a week at Edinburgh Residence for July of 2007 from RCI.

Thanks Mav. That's what I was looking for. Now all I have to do if find an exchange company who handles both.

Duchally Country Estate

I have a reservation there for next summer through SFX. It appears to be midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. It's also near a railroad, but I still need to determine whether cab service is available or if I need a car.

Hi Sue,
We also have a week at Duchally Country Estates from SFX. It really looks nice. We are there for a week starting June 30th. When do you check in?

We're looking forward to Cameron House this June. It should be about a half hour drive from Glasgow.

We'll also be at Cameron House in June. That is if I can find airfare and get the rest of the plans together. I'm running SO far behind on doing this. My husband has a scheduling conflict so may not be able to go when the rest of us do. I've thought of cancelling, but my DD20 is begging me not to.

What are your dates?

June 2-9

I was able to use freq flyer miles on Continental, leaving a day early, so we'll be in a hotel in Glasgow on June 1.

The roundtrip airfare from NY seems never to go below $1,000 (I have an ongoing search with Orbitz out of curiousity).

We've got a June itinerary starting in Scotland, ending in Ireland. For cheapest airfares I could find, I booked round-trip to Dublin on Aer Lingus - then we'll use Ryanair for a flight from Dublin to Edinburgh on day of arrival.

Sheila, you might want to check Aer Lingus. Their website doesn't work for cities other than their main departure cities, but they can book your ticket from anywhere using US airlines as connectors ... call 800-474-7424.

Acutally I'd only checked openjaw flights into Edinburgh and out of Dublin, and it was much more $$ than using ryanair. But after I booked, I noticed online that Glasgow is one of Aer Lingus' hubs. I didn't check flying openjaw into Glasgow, that probably would have been my best bet. So if you call them, you should ask.

I know you're not looking, but NYC-Dublin on Aer Lingus on either May 31-June 9 or June 1-June 9 would be only $546 - this includes the surplus fuel charge of $92!

Using an LCC out of Dublin makes sense - assuming there are no delays or schedule changes on the transatlantic part of the trip.

My son and I were at Cameron house in July but it was not the experience we'd hoped for. I'll be interested to see what you guys think!

(My review is on TUG if you want to read it.)

Hi Sue,

Spent a week at Duchally Country Estates June of 2006. Absolutely loved it. Very quiet, out in the country, roomy units, daily maid service if you want it and a great Manor House / Hotel attached with it. Evening Ghost story's told by locals, excellent restaurant, and wonderful bar. A well equiped recreation lodge with pool and excersise equipment.

You will be about 2 miles from Gleneagles and the quaint town of Aucterader.

Great location to travel North, south, East or West on day trips.

Drop me a line at email if you'd like any specifics.

That's a good choice. Actually we used Aer Lingus for the first leg of a previous trip: New York to Dublin to Aberdeen. Pack light and leave plenty of time for the connection in Dublin, though. Their airport is an absolute zoo.
