I mentioned a while back that I was heading to Edinburgh for a family vacation - the trip is now upon us (we leave in a week), and am trying to nail down our itinerary for while we're there. Right now, lots of ideas, but none of them have been fitted into a coherent schedule yet.
We're staying in Edinburgh every night, so I'm looking for a day trip from there. Glasgow and back seems to be the obvious choice, but are there other places where one can head out in the morning, get a decently long train ride in, see something interesting, then get back to Edinburgh in time for dinner(ish)?
Also, we're going to be car-enabled (Budget had some dirt cheap rentals, and the currency exchange is very favorable at this point) for the entire week, are there any must-do things (rail-related or not) that should be on my list?
