‘Cos in comparrison to a lot of places it’s beautiful! Lived here for 10 years, it’a grey and you could end up depressed. There is loads to visit around and about if you are there on holiday especially in the countryside. Edinburgh is the place to visit in Scotland (in my mind) but I’d certainly take a look at Aberdeen. Go and visit the Creel Inn in Catterline, just south of stonehaven they have fine food and it’s a lovely wee village! Go to the University and visit Kings college, go on a walk in the woods, drive North and find a pub for lunch….

I guess it goes down as worth visiting as I lived there for 3 years and although I grew to dislike the place I can look back now at what a good life we had and what things are worth doing! It’s not really worth a specific trip (you would be better going to the UAE or Oman) – but if you are going to visit friends or family don’t say no! Qatar is a small place, the hotels are very luxurious and serve great food, the traditional souqs are worth a visit and the desert is a must. Other than that there is not a great deal to do – if you are visiting at the times of any big sports events, go, it will be cheap and you’ll liekly be one of the few people watching world class action!
