There's apparently a small town in Wales that specializes in second-hand bookstores. We are so going there.
*whimpers* Jealous! Jealous!
You've done the Highlands, haven't you? Or did you not get much farther north than Edinburgh? If not, and you have time, head for Inverness, Nairn, etc. There's Urquhart Castle/Drumnadrochit which are right on the banks of Loss Ness, and Culloden Battlefield, and Cawdor Castle which was the inspiration for the castle in Macbeth or something of the sort, which reportedly has snarky placards for the displays, although I apparently didn't read the right ones.
The only other biggies I can think of are Warwick Castle and Salisbury Cathedral. Warwick was definitely the coolest castle I visited, and there was something about Salisbury that blew me away just standing outside of it, even with all the scaffolding.
