Which months would be the best to visit Scotland, Ireland, & Wales? DH & I
are looking into a nice trip in 2007 or possibly late this year. This is
one of the ones we are interested in. We were thinking late April, but we
don't know. We can go anytime.

It seems that many folks have had a good time in Scotland in
September! Remember that May is one month before the summer solstice
and so it does not get dark until say, 10 pm or so (more like 11pm up
in the Islands). So if you enjoy drives or walks after dinner, etc
you will get more "bang for your buck" in May than September (3 months
after the solstice).

I spent ten days in Ireland in June a few years ago. I adored it. We only
had rain for a day and maybe a half. I can't wait to go back. The crowds
weren't very bad, the weather was wonderful, and since school was still in
session, we didn't have to deal with a huge number of kids.(1)

I adore Ireland. Go, and bring your camera. It's impossible to take a bad
picture there. I take horrendous ones as a rule, but every shot from
Ireland was stunning.

(1) The students we did run into, though, were exceedingly polite and
friendly. We got hopelessly lost in the north of Dublin, and a teenage boy
with a "creative" hairstyle gave us a big, honest smile and wonderful
directions.
