"We rented bikes and spent a day out in the country, biked to an old castle that didn't have a roof anymore. "
Do you recall where that was? I was looking around on websites for easy bike rides with rental bikes, but it seems that most of Scotland is way too challenging for the casual biker (steep steep steep).
"July huh? Look at the Fringe Festival dates for Edinburgh and see if your trip will overlap. The home city of the Fringe, they rent out every lecture hall available, and have plays going all day, everyday, for two weeks I think? We were very lucky to land there during that, without planning to."
The Festival is in August, which is fine with me. I'd pay extra to avoid that. I mean, I love the Fringe Festival here at home, but I do NOT want to plan a trip that overlaps with the biggest tourist draw of the year. I was on a business trip once that happened to hit Munich during Oktoberfest - Yikes!
"Our bed and breakfast was really nice, but outside the downtown area. It had a bus stop right outside it. :)"

Do you happen to recall the name of the place?
