Which Route to Take Through Scotland

Scotland is a fascinating country with lots of things to offer. The landscape is very unique and also the people are great. My friend and I recently traveled Scotland and were amazed by it.

Edinburgh - Day 1 and 2

We started in Edinburgh. We flew from Germany to Edinburgh, Scotland. Once we arrived we quickly took a bus to the city of Edinburgh. In Edinburgh we went to the our hostel which we had booked a day earlier.

We didn't really have any plans where we would go. We just had a rough idea where we wanted to go. We wanted to head up the west coast of Scotland.

Luckily we met some people in our hostel who wanted to go to the West too. They planned on renting a car and so we decided to go with them. On our next day we went to Glasgow and rented a car there.

Isle of Skye - Day 3 and 4

During that day we went up the West coast passing Loch Lommond, Fort William and eventually arriving at the Isle of Skye. The island itself is beautiful and you definitely have to visit it.

On the next day we decided to drive around the Isle and visit various places. We went to Dunvegan Castle, stayed at a coral beach and visited a distillery. It's was lots of fun. Unfortunately our friends had to move on and so we stayed in Isle of Skye and they once again headed to the South.

Inverness - Day 5

The following day we took the bus from Ilse of Skye to Inverness, which is also called the capital of the Highlands. It was a beautiful day and we arrived early in Inverness. Therefore we had lots of time to see the town.

Pitlochry - Day 6

After that we decided to go to Pitlochry, it's on the way from Inverness to Perth, since it was supposed to be a nice little town. And it indeed was. We visited lots of places there such as the old Moulin Inn and Queen's View. It's a great place to visit.

Back Home - Day 7

On our last day we drove back to Edinburgh by bus and caught the plane back to Germany.

I have to say that it was a great trip and there was so much that we learned and experienced. I hope this gave you some ideas as to where you can travel and what is worth visiting.

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.
