Buying hardback books over here would probably make both my suitcase and my bank account explode.
*nods* Been there, done that.
area around Loch Ness
It's gorgeous up there. Hopefully you can take a day train/bus so you can see the landscape along the way. Freaking beautiful.
possibly to the Hebrides.

As for Warwick and Salisbury, I can remember going to a whole bunch of castles and cathedrals, but those two were my absolute favorites. Warwick just had this... feel. Logically I knew it had been renovated, but it didn't SEEM like it, like so many of the others did. It seemed so much more natural than the others, and it was big with the pretty. You could really go all around it, too. And it seems like they had people in period costumes and such on the grounds...
I honestly don't know if there's anything else near them, other than their respective towns - I'm pretty sure we did them on the same day trip, though... Perhaps the same time we did Oxford (which was actually a big disappointment, imo - not much to see at all). The details are a bit fuzzy, 'cause it's been a while - 12 years this summer, actually. Holy crap, 12 years! Damn, I'm getting OLD!!
It might work that you could get to the general area and hit a few different places, maybe with a day tour or something. I'm not sure where you are exactly, and how much time you'll have, but if you get the chance, I definitely recommend them.
