Do you know any sightseeing places in scottish highlands? want to travel for 2 weeks starting from edinburgh? |
Travel Info My holiday will last for approx. 2 weeks and I would like to travel the scottish highlands, therefore I would like to know the best sightseeing places there are. Any help to find those would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Travel Tips Head west from Edinburgh along the M9 and visit Linlithgow (ruins of royal palace). Then head on along the M9 to Stirling (the city and castle are worth a visit). Head up the A9 to Perth and carry on up the A9 to Inverness. You will want to have a look at places like Pitlochry, Blair Castle and some of the Speyside whisky distilleries ;-) From Inverness you can head east along the coast and visit towns such as Elgin, Nairn, Peterhead, Fraserburgh and so on. You might also want to take detours to places like Balmoral Castle (the queen's Highland retreat in the summer) and Braemar (home of the royal Highland Games). On returning to Inverness you will want to go down the Great Glen and see Loch Ness and you can carry on to Fort William. you have a few choices. One is to head up the west coast but I would recommend heading in a loop to take in Eilen Donnan Castle and back to Inverness. This will allow you to head north up the east coast until you reach John O'Groats. If you are really adventurous you might want to visit the Orkney and/or Shetland Isles. You then want to go along the north coast and start down the west coast. You will want to visit Ullapool and possibly consider a visit to the Outer Hebrides. Further down the coast you will want to visit Plockton before a visit to Skye. Heading south again you pass through Fort William on the way to Oban. Here you have a choice of visiting more islands such as Mull. From Oban you want to head inland to Crianlarich before following the road down Loch Lomond. Head east along the bottom of Loch Lomond and make sure you visit Aberfoyle and Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. From here you can start to make your way back to Edinburgh. There are many more places worth visiting but I hope this gives an outline of what is possible. Have a great holiday :-) Others Loch ness, Go and see NESSIE!!!!! dunno about the best places, just stay out of glasgow!! Edinburgh is the most beautiful city...I loved it...been there many times. Glen Coe is amazing! Visit Glamis Castle - in Angus Visit St Andrews...lovely place My best friend lives just outside of Glamis in Balkeerie Village. It is beautiful...you won't want to come home! Train service is great...or rent a car to see the small villages Modified 11 months ago Definitely stop in Fort William and hike Ben Nevis ("ben" means "mount" or "mountain" in Scots Gaelic). Ben Nevis is the highest point in the UK. It has some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen, and I'm a traveler! Be prepared, though; the trip up and back will take you most of the day. Wear comfortable broken-in hiking boots, and carry water and snacks, preferably something like an energy bar. You'll need it! Oh, but it's so worth it.... Don't forget to visit Stirling |
