Scotland is not a part of EU (yet), so you need a passport to enter from Germany. Passport queues are long while exiting the airport, so please allow extra time for it.
The weather in Scotland is very unpredictable. The only sure thing is rain every day, so please consider your outfit accordingly, especially for walks outside. For the Saturday evening program, please feel free to use something proper for a Scottish dinner setting with some traditional dancing afterwards. Guests from Bavaria may use Lederhosen and Trachten, I will probably do the same.
We have not organised transportation in Scotland. Please take this into consideration, while planning your travels to and from Burgie House, as well as during the days. As an example, I have booked a rental car for Sirkku and me to get around and to do some shopping.
For better coordination, please also let us know about your arrival and departure in the registration form.
About Burgie House
Check-in is on Thursday 15th of June at 6 pm. This gives Sirkku and me a couple of hours for some preparations before you arrive.
Our place for the long weekend is not a hotel. Instead, it's a mansion for our own use. In practice, we have to take care of our breakfast ourselves and live cleanly, since we don't have housekeeping before Sunday. While Sirkku and I will arrange coffee and other basics for breakfast, please feel free to contribute into it, especially with your dietary little wishes. Same applies to alcohol: while we will stock the house, you are more than welcome to chip in with your favourites. We will have ample time on Thursday to coordinate some shopping.
You don't have to make considerations about your room. We have spent a fair amount of time to think who is sleeping where for our group of 23 adults. Our stay is paid already.
Check-out is on Sunday 18th of June at 11 am.
Please see our planned program here. Joining to planned activities is not a must, so please use the registration page to let me know if you are joining, so I can inform organisers. While I have taken care of Saturday dinner, music and dance, please note that I'm asking you to cover your expenses for Friday and Saturday daytime program.
I know I can't prevent you coming up with some gift ideas. Please note I am not looking forward to carry anything with me back to Germany. Does this sound complicated enough? Good!
