With kids by car: a nice stop between Uig (Skye) and Edinburgh
Hi everybody and congratulation for the helpful website. I'm planning a travel to Scotland in April with 2 young children. We'll stay one week and we've planned to stop in Aberdeen 2 nights, Inverness 2 nights, Skye 2 nights and then to go back to Edinburgh to fly back home.
Skye/Edinburgh is way too far to drive straight with kids, so I'm looking for a stop in between: could anyone suggest a nice village on the way to stop by for 1 night?
Thanks so much and regards,
Michela.

On the A87 route, though Pitlochry is the natural choice, I recommend staying the night at Dunkeld. The village is pretty and is also the birthplace of the author Beatrix Potter who wrote the Peter Rabbit set of childrens stories. You possibly could introduce your kids to the stories before taking them to the Beatrix Potter museum in Birnam. Lots of walks in that area as well.
Use the Walkhighlands website to find walks in any of the areas you're interested in.
