saving for UK holiday sept/0ct 2018
hello everyone, we are looking forward to 2018 with great excitement.
we want to fly/drive our way around the UK. stopping in b&bs along the way.
i have been on many websites, looking for places to visit in Scotland.
we r going to spend about week in Ireland first, than catch the ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan.
this is scotlands first draft:
frist stop Galloway Forest and the dark sky observatory, make our way to Glasgow.
travel through Glencoe national park and on to Fort William and take a train to Glenfinnan.
than make our way to the Isle of Skye, than to Lock Ness and Inverness, than drive through Cairngorms Forest,
make our way to Ardverikie castle and surrounding area (loved monarch of the glen). drive through Pitlochry and Aberfeldy
travel along the Fife coastal route to Craill and on to Edinburgh. than we will make our way into England.
i have recently found the Ben Nevis Range Ski Lift on the Nevis Range, that would be great to do.
still looking for some great places to visit in these areas.
i would love any suggestions and ideas. cheers liz

How many days are you planning to cover Scotland in? If its around a week, I would highly suggest trying to squeeze out a visit to either Isle of Mull & Staffa (via Oban, pictured below) or the Isle of Harris. Both are otherworldly
Finally, do you have any specific interests that you'd like suggestions on, we can try to recommend places fitting those categories. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Best of Scotland in 1 week itinerary (fully by public transport)
My Scotland travels (includes Edinburgh, Skye, Harris, Mull, Arran, Orkney, Loch Lomond, Islay, Oban, Dunoon, Speyside)
we would like to stay about 7/8 days.
we like mountain scenery, but all country scenery is beautiful. am
i am really looking froward to see the Glencoe area, Glenfinnan area and Isle of Skye.
i like the idea of visiting small towns and villages.
Bernie loves riding on old trains, coffee shops, castles and easy walks.
i would love to find some where that has bungy jumping, hot air ballooning.
i will check out the 2 castles, you have recommended.
cheers liz
If you plan to visit Pitlochry then Killicrankie would be perfect for your bungee jump. Jumps are from one of the bridges over the river Garry.
Another great walk is Glen Nevis and across to Steall Falls. It's rather impressive too.
