The 7 Day Scotland Trip of Our Life

A few weeks ago my friend and I set off to travel Scotland. We really didn't plan a lot, all we did was to book our flight and reserve the hostel for the first night. After that we would go from there.

On a Monday we flew from Germany to Edinburgh, Scotland. When we arrived we had the typical Scottish rain weather. We took a bus from the airport to the city and quickly checked in to our hostel.

Then we decided on how we were going to travel. We really didn't have any plans all we knew was that we wanted to go up the west coast of Scotland and maybe stay on an island there and then to come back down to Edinburgh and travel parts of the east coast.

That was our plan. That night we met some people, and one of them offered us the chance to drive up to the west coast with them by car. So we agreed and left to travel to Isle of Skye on Wednesday morning.

Eventually after driving for a while, probably around 4-5 hours, we ended up on the Isle of Skye. We found a hostel in Broadford and stayed there for the night.

The next day we drove by car through the rest on Isle of Skye (it's really worth seeing). On the evening the people who had rented the car with us drove on and we stayed another night at Isle of Skye.

The next morning we got up early and took the bus to Inverness which is somewhat on the east coast but in a rather central place. From there we moved on to Pitlochry which is a small town between Inverness and Perth.

After visiting some things there we took the bus back to Edinburgh where we just stayed for the night because our flight was going to leave early in the morning.
