Not so good. Flight was departed 2 hours late from DC and we missed our connecting flight from Dubai to Mumbai. Our flight Dubai to Mumbai got delayed by three hours. Once we arrived Bombay airport we didnot get all our luggage bags. We were missing two luggage bags so found out that our those two luggage bags are coming in different flight. First they gave us wrong flight information in which our missing luggage coming and wrong phone number to whom we should reach out. I spent hours and hours at the airport to find out our luggage bags. After four five hours later and hectic time at the airport to get our luggage bags. Overall poor communication with emirates staff at the airport and no one is helpful.

  • The Titan crane at Clydebank is said to be the oldest of its kind in the world. It has been open to visitors – between May and October – since 2007. Visitors can ascend 45 metres to get a sense of the history and power of this 800-ton crane. 
  • Ancient castles include Glamis Castle; Eileen Donan Castle in the northern Highlands, which is located on an island at the crossing point of three lochs; Urquart Castle stands in ruins on the banks of Loch Ness; Balmoral is the summer home of the British royal family; the Castle of Mey is in Caithness on Scotland’s north coast. 
  • In Edinburgh, a Hallowe’en-time ghostly walk will spirit you under the city streets to the vaults, where people used to live in the 18th century when the city got too crowded. 
  • In addition to the world-famous Fringe Festival, Edinburgh is home to the World’s largest Arts Festival every August and is the First Unesco City of Literature. Most of Edinburgh’s centre is a Unesco World Heritage Site. 
  • Scotland is the home of golf. Some courses are world-famous – the Old Course at St. Andrews, Troon, Carnoustie, Turnberry and Muirfield – but there are hidden gems too such as Machrie, west of Oban on the Island of Islay, Murcar Links Golf Club, near Aberdeen, and Boat of Garten, south of Inverness. 
  • The island of Islay has eight working distilleries, producing world-famous malt whiskies. The distilleries on the south coast – Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Port Ellen – produce the most powerful whiskies. Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain are milder and lighter-flavoured.
