If you can only visit one, which one should you visit?
Anyone been to both and have a favorite?

They were both great. I enjoyed them both more than England. The people are friendlier and much more hospitable.
If you have enough time, I'd do them both. A flight on Ryan Air is quick and it wouldn't cost too much at all.

Never been to Ireland, but Scotland was insane and I'd like to go back often. I didn't even go to lots of the country, but it was amazing

Just back from Ireland and going to Scotland in August. I can report back.

The people in Ireland were probably the nicest of any country that I've visited. I prefer Edinburgh to Dublin, but probably enjoyed the countryside and smaller towns more in Ireland.

Ireland was great. Can't go wrong. County Kerry mountains and cliffs are amazing.
My only advice in Dublin is that the Guinness tour is pricey ($25) but you do get a pint and the glass. The Brewery tour itself was underwhelming, but you do need to walk the perimeter and take some pics. There are gift shops in central Dublin that have the same things as the Brewery gift shop (not everything though). Airport buses are a great way to get to city.
Scotland is on wish list. Agree on Ryanair. Was flawless using them. Make sure you get "the stamp" before you board. It's proof you have papers.

This is pretty spot on. I have been to "friendlier" places but none of them were in Europe. If you do Ireland, I suggest flying into Shannon and working your way to Dublin. From there I suggest you do Wales and the English Lakes region before heading to London for a return flight. Scotland is cool but unless you fly it is a little out of the way.

Ireland vs Scotland is like good whiskey vs good whisky.
No real loser, just different.
I'd probably go with Ireland if pressed, but you can't go wrong with either place.
Kinsale, Newgrange, Clonmacnoise, the Aran Islands, The Burran, Skellig Michael, Mizen Head Lighthouse...

Spot on. We did 3 days in Edinburgh and 2 days in Dublin and then 15 days in the Irish Country side. That being said, we are going to Scotland for 10 days in September to see the rest of the country.
Everyone one should do a couple of weeks each in England, Scotland and Ireland during their lifetime. Start with Ireland.
