I'm traveling to Northern Ireland and Scotland in July and I would appreciate any ideas and/or information anyone can offer about where to go, where to stay, what to see, do's, dont's, etc. Any information would be appreciated. I thought I'd post this here because there's quite a few folks from the UK on this forum. Cities are ok and I enjoy some things a city has to offer but I'm more interested in seeing the countryside and landscape. Im also interested in history, architecture and the arts. Ideas, thoughts, experiences?

So jealous. Never been but watching The Fall would be a good primer for life in Northern Ireland. Bonus Gillian Anderson is in it and she plays a British Detective Superintendent

Spent a good amount of time in Edinburgh.
Ummm dont wear shades, they dont like that over there.

Oh and bangers and beans everyday. Plus every place I went had the best coffee ever. Even at the places you wouldnt expect it. Better than any coffee I have ever had at Starbucks. A complete surprise. Plus all of the food was really good there. Seriously I had some of the best pasta and Indian food while there. Edinburgh anyway...
Edinburgh is dope. I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Old town has a old world vibe to it with steep roads that wind down through some Harry Potter-looking architecture. Then there's that giant castle on a cliff. You can hang out at prince street gardens down by the nearby rail station. I also personally stayed over to west end which is the more suburban part of the city center, and even it had a certain scottish charm.
Edinburgh also has a small and varied museum that's worth checking out, which is surrounded by a bunch of smaller museums within walking distance.
