The only seaside place I have ever been to in Scotland was Saltcoats, and the last time I was there (aged about 11 I think) ther was an infestation of jelly fish so even if it had been warm enough we wouldn't have been able to swim.

BB's list of places in Scotland can't be much shorter than mine for the whole of the UK, so I shall try, but I won't include the Anglian ones that we have been to since being in Norfolk as they total more than the rest put together.

Brighton
West Wittering
St Austell
a number in Cornwall as we were staying in St Austell for a holiday
Porthcawl, Barry Islnd and the Mumbles have all only been day trips (as indeed have Brghton and West Wittering)
Watchet in Somerset (we were staying nearby)(four times)
Newquay in West Wales
Harlech (twice)
a caravan park near Prestatyn (twice)
Rhyll (we were staying nearby)
a caravan park near Chichester at Pagham Harbour
Isle of Grain in Kent (again a caravan park)
oh and a couple on the North Yorkshire coast, again caravan parks.

My childhood holidays were either spent in Newport with an aunt or High Blantyre at Grandad's, and weren't highly eventful apart from the occasional day trip. I was a poor deprived (and please note I said deprived and not that other word that no doubt Daveski would associate with me) childhood! But then I was brought up in a largish village, just 5 miles from Windsor, right on the edge of Windsor Great Park, just above Runneymede, and with a huge village green that was big enough for a football pitch and a cricket green and large wooded areas, 2 village ponds, and all the freedom we wanted so I can't say that I missed out on anything really.
