For my fellow Celts in the Glasgow/Edinborough areas I have a friend in the IT industry who plans to be in Scotland in in the last August / early Sept timeframe. He has asked a few questions and I would appreciate if someone can give me some info. Questions are: - Are there any IT conferences, Telecommunications or Computer shows on in the Glasgow area at that time ? - Any recommended hotels in Glasgow/Edinborough area, names, phone numbers, Fax numbers and approx ideas of prices for end of July/Aug. Thank you. Gerry C

Edinburgh!!(sp) will be packed to the rafters at this time of year
because of the International festival so you should book now!
How much do you want to pay for a hotel? And do you want to be near the
city centre?

I knw the spelling was wrong, I just couldn't get the correct one, mea
culpa.
Thanks for the data on the Interational Festival.
On prices; I expect the people would be intersted in commercial type
rates .... ie whats the DEC rate in the area and whats the tourist
rate. The guy contracts with a large multi-national, so if there are
hotel chains, I would expect he could use it.
So; approx what are tourist rates and "DEC" rates ?.
Glasgow be also packed at that time ?

I stayed in the Glasgow Marriot - Cost 60 pounds for one
night - mid week winter. Don't know about summer rates.
Nice hotel, pool and health club. Situated in town centre. Handy for
everything including Glasgow's famous Indian restaurants and west end
pubs. You should be able to get the phone number from your local Marriot.
BTW Glasgow is only 45 minutes from Edinburgh by train.

| 1465.5 | Scandic is very nice! | POOKY::OROURKE | SLEEP...I read about that once | Fri Mar 31 1995 09:54 | 10 |
I stayed at the Scandic Crown in Edinburgh a couple of years ago. Got
a low 'cash upfront' walk in rate with a referal slip from the tourist
office in the train station (It was late October though).
It is a gorgeous place in a perfect location for walking to most of the
major sites in Edinburgh!

I just stayed at the Scandic last October. I got a beautiful room with
a view of the Royal Mile. The location was great because everything was
in walking distance.
I really enjoyed the hotel and I would stay there again because of the
service, location and comfort of it!

Have a good trip
