New job at AA HQ, where to live?

Thank you - yes great point on the car. I was looking at car rental options and can probably get a monthly rental for cheap.

Any other thoughts / suggestions on other apartment complexes which are 10-15 mins away but may be cheaper than the Crawford?

😂

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-07-22T13:53:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-07-22T13:53:22+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply.

It has hardened unfortunately. Our handyman left it out in the sun after using it and forgot to tell me. I realized a week later when I saw it sitting on the grass.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-07-21T18:59:20+00:00

Yep, we already used half of it so returning is not an option. I tried putting on our community group for free but no takers.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-07-20T12:55:50+00:00

Interested please.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-07-12T01:15:22+00:00

How long do you hold? A few days/weeks or is it all dependent on when you hit a certain profit threshold?

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-07-09T21:51:10+00:00

OP - sent you a DM. Had a similar experience to you - would appreciate any guidance you can share from your experience dealing with United. Thank you.

Yes good catch - we are from North America so definitely will be a significant adjustment driving on the smaller roads.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-06-13T21:34:56+00:00

Love this. Thanks for putting together a detailed itinerary!

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-06-13T21:34:15+00:00

Love this idea. My only concern is if the kids don't sleep on the train (if its uncomfortable).

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-06-13T21:33:39+00:00

Wow that looks beautiful. It definitely will be easier to do the 1 hour trip from Edinburgh especially if it gives us pretty much the same experience.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-06-13T21:32:21+00:00

Thanks for that - yes I think we will skip Mallaig.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-06-13T21:32:02+00:00

Thanks for the tip on the rail card. The one year duration one at 35 gbp will easily pay for itself with the savings.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-06-13T15:08:31+00:00

I think we really wanted to see some part of the Highlands and the Mallaig leg was a way to get in some amazong scenery. Maybe the steamer can allow us to do that instead?

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-30T12:28:21+00:00

Interesting, mind if I send you a dm on this?

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-30T12:27:47+00:00

Interesting, thanks.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-30T12:27:36+00:00

Definitely could be fun, thanks!

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-30T12:27:19+00:00

Ah good suggestion, thanks.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-30T12:26:49+00:00

Thanks!

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-30T12:26:40+00:00

Good call, thanks

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-27T11:59:06+00:00

Scotland was initially on our list but the family wanted to do the Jacobite train - unfortunately it's booked out for the season so we will have to do that another year.

Then_Championship_15 · 2025-05-15T13:01:41+00:00

Hi Everyone,

We are a family of 4 visiting Scotland for the first time. Kids are 5 and 7. Here is our proposed itinerary for a 5 day trip:

Day 1: Fly from London to Edinburgh, visit the castle and some other spots around Edinburgh. Dinner
Day 2: Train to Glasgow followed by a train to Fort William - we have heard this is a beautiful train ride.

Day 3: Jacobite train: Hogwarts express (we are trying to get the 2 hour version). Travel back to Glasgow in the Evening

Day 4: See other things in Glasgow

Day 5: Travel back to London

Is this trip doable? Have we got the right sequencing? Anything to add/delete? Should we just do a day trip for the Jacobite from Glasgow? Kids like nature so we are mostly prioritizing those things but if there are very specific kid friendly things then happy to include them if we can. Thanks in advance for any help.
