KD: Go to Scotland. Go to Edinburgh, but if you’re looking for a club scene in Scotland, go to Glasgow.
I’ve been living in Scotland for two years.When I move my stuff up it’s such a good drive. I would tell someone to drive from London to Edinburgh, but it’s kind of long and everyone drives crazy. But I would recommend driving at least from Lake District, from there to Scotland and then to Edinburgh, because you skim Glasgow on the way. From Glasgow to Edinburgh is just these windy roads and it’s just amazing the views ‘mdash; it’s like no other, it’s nothing like I’ve ever seen.
You can get to the cafe where J.K. Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter. That’s in Edinburgh. There’s this private school, Edinburgh University, where she got the inspiration for Harry Potter and it’s actually amazing. Some of their schools there ‘mdash; they just look like castles. It’s amazing.
The Archers [has] good music, really great drum and bass line. I’ve only been there once, but everyone recommends it. It’s on the main street. They basically have this pedestrianized area in Glasgow ‘mdash; they’ve got better shopping than in Edinburgh, but a lot of people don’t go to Glasgow ’cause it’s quite rough and grim, but it’s quite a beautiful city.
It might be worthwhile taking a trip to St. Andrews as well. It’s full of Americans, to be honest. But, people feel at home. There’s nothing there except nice buildings, pretty much.
