Part 3: Road to Scotland with Russell Brand and Katy Perry

Comedian and Forgetting Sarah
Marshall actor Russell Brand and fiance pop singer Katy Perry make
their way through LAX in Los Angeles, California on March 28, 2010.

Russell Brand may have recently attacked reporters at LAX, but to the left, we see Russell and his fiance Katy Perry at LAX in happier, less violent, times. And, since Russell and Katy are already at the airport, we've convinced them that a hop across the pond would be a guaranteed blast for all. Russell is crazy. Katy is fun. And so, where else should we go with these two
than Scotland, the land of lake monsters and moors?




1. Edinburgh. Our tour begins in Edinburgh. Russell and Katy, who are wearing matching kilts, meet us at our hotel, the Glasshouse. http://www.theetoncollection.com/content.aspx?pageID=450.
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle.
 Russell explains that we won't need any transportation for getting around the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town. We start off at Edinburgh Castle, which served an important role in the Scottish War for Independence, which we mainly know about through Mel Gibson's portrayal of William Wallace (prior to Gibson's psychotic break, of course) in Braveheart.  Speaking of Mel, Russell Brand spots the William Wallace statue in front of the gatehouse and does his best  they-may-take-our-lives-but-they-can-never-take-our-freedom speech. We are pretty worried the vivacious Mr. Brand will offend the many Scots milling about the fortress (we've heard more than one conversation regarding Scottish independence during our stay in Edinburgh). As such, we decide to escort Russell out of the hallowed castle ASAP and move on to safer sites before he starts reenacting any further scenes from the film.

Part One:Celebrity Road Trips

In this multi-part segment, we have come up with a list of 5 dream road trips to take with our favorite celebrity couples. We fully expect that some of our couples will read our blog, call us up, and insist that they chauffeur us around some of these fab destinations. Stay tuned...

DAGGETT, CA - JUNE 16:  Route 66 carries little traffic on June 16, 2007 east of Daggett, California. Route 66 opened in 1926 stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles and became a western migration route for people looking for work during the great depression of the 1930's or to escape the Dust Bowl disaster. Later it offered vacation getaways and driving adventures until 1985 when it was decommissioned as a federal highway. Due to neglect and commercial development Route 66, the first highway to connect the Midwest with the West Coast, has recently been added to the biennially compiled list of the world's most endangered landmarks by the World Monuments Fund and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's yearly list of the 11 most endangered historic places in America.
