Not that I didn't enjoy Scotland, but if I had to choose just one to visit it would be Ireland.

That's the first report I have ever heard of that. I've only heard first hand reports that were glowing. Grain of salt

Dublin is, in fact, a fine town - 6/10. But really not that great.

100% agree--I recently went to Ireland, Scotland, and England. For my tastes, Ireland was easily at the bottom of the 3.
